Rebuild Data Catalogue possible?
As my storage node crashes every two days it looks like the data catalogue got damaged.
At least while deleting an archive, the "update data catalogue" step failed after 40 minutes with "SQLite Library Error: Code '13'". (Which may be - according to SQLite Doc - /* Insertion failed because database is full */)
As I'm tired of opening new support cases, I'd like to simply delete the catalogue and rebuild it from the (hopefully intact) Depot.
Is this possible?
Hello Ihor,
Thank you for bringing this thread up again.
According to the error message, the disk hosting the database is full. When you delete the slice the database updates the records about it, and it requires space. In case you're consolidating the backups, you need as much free space as the entire chain takes.
So first of all make sure that you have enough free space on the drive with the backups, and on the drive hosting the database.
If the problem remains, please send us Acronis Info from the problem machine.
Should you need anything else or have any further questions - feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience, we will be happy to help you!
Thank you.
Yana -
your answer is misleading. The Data catalogue is not on the drive hosting the backups. The Catalogue resides on the storage node's %programdata%.
That means you need (because of some "efficiency-issues" in the current beta 17318) about 3 times more free space than the size of your current data catalogue (so if your idle catalogue is 20G you need at least 60G free - because the catalogue bloats up during delete operations).
In addition you also need free space in the profile directory of your local ASN User (because it creates a temp file the size of your catalogue in the Temp-Folder of the ASN user)
This is of course not documented in the manual. You could force ASN to save the catalogue somewhere else by writing a registry key (there's a KB somewhere for that). This way you could seperate the temp-file operation from the catalogue to different platters, which might give you a speed advantage.
And coming back to the question: No you can't simply rebuild the catalogue. The only way I found was: Disconnect the Vault, delete the catalog files and then reconnect the vault. If the ASN is able to reconnect the vault, it will then proceed to re-catalogue your complete vault. Be patient - if you use dedup this might take a week.
