[Gramps-users] Help! Database corruption

[Jeff S. <jsg...@ja...>]

My wife has spent many hours entering data in our gramps database.
One day, we got the warning that the database needed to be repaired. Maybe
we shut down inelegantly.
After the repair, all the recently added data seemed to be missing.
I ran 'strings' on the log.0000000001 file and saw a lot of stuff that was
definitely some of the missing data.
The various .db and .gbkp files had not been updated for a long time.

I don't know a lot about the workings of Berkeley DB, but I guess that the
.db files were not updated because the log.0000000001 file had not got big
enough to have its contents flushed, but I'm happy to be corrected on
that.

I'm running Gramps 3.2.3-1.

I have now instituted a regular-copy backup to let me recover if this
happens again (yes yes, I should have done that before).

But does anyone have any ideas as to how I can recover or extract the data
that seems to be in the log.0000000001 file?
