[Exist-open] DB corruption and recovery

[Sava J. <sju...@mr...>]

Hi All,

 

I have been searching the mailing lists for sometime now and I just don't
see the answers.

 

We have been using eXistDB from inception . so BIG thanks to everyone for
great product.

 

Currently, using exist 4.7.1 in Windows environment (Server / 10Pro /7 Pro)

 

Overall, it is very stable with little to none issues.

 

However, every now and then, Windows system "dies" (sometime it is power
outage, sometime it is a user action like tripping over power cord, .etc). 

 

When this happens, most of the time eXistDB will corrupt.

 

Good news, 80-90% of the time, self recovery works J

 

Bed news - the rest of the time, we are stuck and we 100% rely on daily
backups (which is OK)

 

Problem is, if system crashes mid-day, there is no backup.

-------------------------------

So, we have been using Consistency-Check tool and sometimes it works.

 

We have tried using one of Wolfgang's recommendations to clear all *.log
files under DATA and execute  "java -jar start.jar
org.exist.backup.ExportMain -z -x " .  but this would return "ERROR: Failed
to open database: null"

--------------------------------

 

I am running out of ideas but we would need to have this resolved.

 

ANY feedback will be MUCH appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Sava
