Exactly! What in the world is a backup system good for? A recovery system, now that's important!

What they really need is a recovery system that works... -----Original Message----- From: John Bartow [mailto:john at winhaven.net] Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2004 12:24 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] corruption Thanks Gustav, I tried this and a couple of other downloads and data recovery services I googled up. Nothing/no one recovered much of it. The main table had well over 20,000 records in it and the most anything recovered was 17. I will now have them re-enter a couple of hundreds records. Oh well, it drove home my point about testing backup jobs once in awhile to make sure they are valid. (They thought I was a little bit paranoid or something when I told them to do this and just blew it off.) This company backed up every day - so they thought. The last recoverable tape data we found this morning was from 11/03! Doesn't hurt to have your advice reinforced by a problem like this but I would have preferred otherwise.
