Error is not a Progress backup volume

Posted by asfeb2 on 10-Oct-2017 12:12

Hello,

I have backup files Progress 11.3 that are displaying an error message that

is not a Progress Backup volume (1059)

!!! ERROR - Database restore utility FAILED !!! (8564)

Can you correct these backup files?

I've already searched for previous backups, the only one I found valid was August 25, 2016

Thanks

First 240 bytes of backup header should be a plain text. Can you check it?

od -c backup.file | head

In the backup file of 2016

volume 1 of backup taken Thu Aug 25 20:01:43 2016 for OPENEDGE database:      

E:\totvs\datasul\dts-1\bancos\database-8080\mdtfrw.db

In the last files nul characters

> In the current backup characters nul

All bytes are null?

Were there any recent incidents with your system? What happened with the original database? Why are you looking for backup? Due to the disk failure?

In the current backup characters nul

All bytes are null? No. It has other characters and data from the database

Were there any recent incidents with your system?

Yes. Encrypted by ransomware.

What happened with the original database? Why are you looking for backup? Due to the disk failure?

Encrypted by ransomware.

Can I send you a backup file to verify by email?

Your backup file seems to be a victim of ransomware virus as well.

I think he's opened his backup file using a text editor:

volume 1 of backup taken Wed May  4 09:32:46 2016 for OPENEDGE database:^@^@^@^@^@^@^@
/prostix/prodev/scorpion/live/dbs/stix.db^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@

as opposed to what you'd asked for:

[bernie@steradmin ~]$ od -c /prodev/scorpion/live/dbs/stix.pbk |head
0000000   v   o   l   u   m   e       1       o   f       b   a   c   k

0000200  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
0000220  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \n

which makes sense - he's on a windows machine, which doesn't have 'od'.
