    Database won't start: dbname.bi and dbname.db Mismatch

    Hi Casper and thank you for your reply. I suspected as much, it's a schoolboy error unfortuantely - I wasn't aware of the other systems connecting in. Too many cooks etc..! Cheers HFP

    Database won't start: dbname.bi and dbname.db Mismatch

    Hi all, I once again need to call upon your expertise I am afraid! At the weekend (end of month) we take a Procopy of our database for reporting purposes. It is Progress 9.1D. The procopy ran over midnight (it wouldn't normally) taking it to the next day. Once it completed it failed to...

    Using Prorest utility for an incremental backup

    Thanks for the suggestion Tom, unfortuantely it didn't solve the issue and the database still thinks it's "been changed". I guess a full backup+restore would be the way to go, unfortunately there isn't enough time in a weekday night to allow for this. tamhas - Yes and they know we are...

    Using Prorest utility for an incremental backup

    Hi all, I have established the cause of this error - the ODBC connection is definitely to blame. I have setup the database with two data configurations, one 4GL Only and one SQL Only. If a database query is passed through the SQL ODBC connection (using the SQL Only configuration) it works...

    Using Prorest utility for an incremental backup

    I've followed the link off this site and found the following: This suggests that I have made a change to the database, the only time this was done was prior to the full back which was why the full backup+restore was performed! Arrgh!

    Using Prorest utility for an incremental backup

    Hi, I have had a search so am hopefully not repeating a question. We have a master progress database and a 'mirror' of it on another server acting as a backup and for running reports against. Currently this is done so that once a week a full backup is performed via the probkup and the...
