Due to a couple of Bookends crashes (sudden exits), I had to repair my database. It would open fine and I wouldn't have noticed the issue until I tried to back up my library. Only then did I receive an error message. Reindexing wouldn't solve the issue and I had to resort to a repair.
I repaired my library and haven't noticed any data loss but, just to make sure, may I ask whether the repair process is lossy? My database includes over 1000 entries, including lots of attachments and long research notes (rich text in the 'notes' field). As a result, it would is impossible for me to check them manually.
Are there any suspicious spots that I should check for possible data loss?
Just repaired database. Should I worry about data loss?
Re: Just repaired database. Should I worry about data loss?
No, there should be no data loss.
BTW, you can check the integrity of your database at any time with Database Maintenance -> Verify.
And if Automatic Backup is turned on, Bookends will do a background Verify before it makes the backup (and warn you if there are problems).
