Hello,

This seems to be a corruption.
Run gfix -v -full too.

Hello,

At the time of backup firebird database (gbak -g -ig) I have the following error:

gbak:    writing data for table ORDERS 
gbak: ERROR:message length error (encountered 532, expected 528) 
gbak: ERROR:gds_$receive failed 
gbak:Exiting before completion due to errors

When I'm using gfix with different parameters (-v -full, -mend, -ignore), I have the message:

Summary of validation errors
        Number of index page errors     : 540

In firebird.log file I see the lines:

PC (Server) Thu Sep 20 08:37:01 2018
    Database: E:\...GDB
    Index 2 is corrupt on page 134706 level 1. File: ..\..\..\src\jrd\validation.cpp, line: 1699
     in table COMPONENTS (197)

However, the database works OK without problems.

Please help me to fix the error and make a backup. (I need the backup to migrate to on 64bit server).

Thank you!
