First Backup Failed - Validate the latest diverse backup version only

Thread needs solution

Hi,

I created a differential backup to a remote drive.

During the excruciatingly long backup, the remote server rebooted because of Windows patching.

Now when I try to validate OR backup, i get the validate message in the title.

I was thinking about deleting first .tibx and retrying, but Im hesitant because of how poorly TI handles this.

I tried to do a cleanup, but that option isnt listed as there are no healthy backups

Im sort of lost. Deleting / recreating backups because a remote drive falls offline is really a scenario that TI should handle after being on the market a decade. 

IF I do have to delete/recreate it, I have heard it cant have the same name because of some other wierd TI behavior.

Is that correct?

Id so, does someone have a Sqllite script that will clean the db since TI hasnt released a utility?

Thanks for any help

Paul, if your backup to your remote server was interrupted in the way you describe then the message will be correct, the backup failed and the interrupted backup file would be corrupt and will fail validation.

You should be able to try using the 'Clean up versions' tool for the task to remove the broken file provided you have a connection to the remote location.
