General Board / Re: Unrecognized database format
« on: December 14, 2006, 03:23:38 am »
I've had two 'unrecognized database format' errors in the past month, never having experienced them before.
The first time it occurred, I didn't lose much work, so I just restored a backup. (I was able to repair the database using EA's repair feature, but felt it was safer to use the backup, rather than the repaired database.)
Then it occurred yesterday. This time it isn't practicable to restore a backup as 2 people would each lose a day's work.
I've two questions:
- How many others are experiencing database corruption?
- Does anyone know why it happens?
- Has anyone had further problems with a repaired database?
