Back up of Music database

Good morning.
For some months now I have had problems creating a backup file for my collection and we decided it was due to the large number of custom covers.
I tried it again this morning and to my delight (and surprise) the backup was successful.
Has anything been changed? I would be interested to know.

Also, I was wondering if this means that were I to do a reindex of my database that wou;d be successful too. I like to have the database indexed sequentially so I have been running a reindex every three months or so. You have been kind enough to run this from your end on my behalf recently and wondered if that could be done again please?
Many thanks,
Regards,
Keith.

Hi @KeithieW

We did not change anything drastically in the backup system that I’m aware off. I’m happy to see it did get through this time.

As for re-indexing. I will see if I can ask the team in the coming days to do it for you again. I will be in touch.

I just checked the previous topic on this, and Alwin mentioned:

Is this not something you can do and ignore the index from now on?

Because… you said…

I can do it again, but I’d like to find out if the sorting is not just an option for you?

Hi AJ,

I ran the reindex using the sort fields that you and Alwin recommended and it went through OK.

Thank you for your patience. I reckon we can put this to sleep now and I will attempt to keep my OCD under control…lol!

Regards,

Keith.
