Indeed, that's exactly what I do. What I meant to say in my first post, and I don't think it came across very well, is that even if you export the data and whack priv.edb, it can still happen again.
The last time I had one of these was after arriving at 10pm back in the UK from Holland, and getting a call at 2am from one of my colleagues saying "what's does jet error -1018 mean?". Now I unplug the phone at night. :-) Neil Hobson Silversands http://www.silversands.co.uk Microsoft Gold Certified Partner For Enterprise Systems For Collaborative Solutions -----Original Message----- From: Snook, Kevin S (ITD) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: 27 March 2002 16:30 Posted To: Sunbelt Exchange List Conversation: datbase Subject: RE: datbase Trouble is of course that you can spend ages trying to find it. I believe (through my experience with 1018 errors), even if you find the hardware problem the structure may still be corrupted so you will still have to move data off of the disk. My view is that you might as well do this from the start. Easiest way to do that is to add a mailbox server to the site and move mailboxes. Remember you don't have a good backup so you can't do it that way.

It prevents the database being backed up simply because your backup program figures there's no point in backing up a bad database. There's not usually a fix for this. On occasions, I've had to create a new mailbox server in the site and move all mailboxes off. It's usually (although not always) down to a problem with your disk. You don't have any caches set on your disk controllers do you?
