Does index corruption persist across backups?

[Cringer]

Been getting a few of these lately:
SYSTEM ERROR: Index <index> in <table> for recid <recid> partition <n> could not be deleted. (17630)

I'd rather not be running idxcheck in live unless I have to. So can I run it against a recent restore of the database as a starting point?

OE 11.7, RH8.

If you're getting a 17630 in your prod database then yes, that problem will also exist in a restored backup as well.

Thanks Rob.

# Great question. I was looking for a way to analyze the DB for corruption, will the 5th option detect and corrupt DB blocks?

Ignore my question....
