The reason we're trying to run it is because it hasn't ran successfully in a few months now and we're getting TONS of "open file" errors at the top of the Information Store during our backups. We haven't gotten a good backup in two weeks. Regardless of how we're backing up we're getting errors. We're thinking it's because it hasn't done an online defrag in awhile. I have never used ISINTEG does it require shutting down the services and doing it offline?
Thanks, Karon Miller Online defrag will not fix any corruption. You have to use Isinteg for that. > Make a backup and run it on test setup to see if you have any errors. > Besides the online terminating very quickly with no errors in the event log > do you see any other errors during the day? > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Karon Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, November 22, 2002 10:16 AM > Subject: RE: Any command line switches to run Online defrag? > > > > Well, it doesn't seem to matter if we schedule an online defrag or if we > > just run one right then on the fly it only runs for a few minutes and then > > stops and says it's terminating.
