Recently we had another successful corruption repair, here is what the client had to say after the repair was complete.
We were having trouble with incorrect pageid errors only when running backup and restore operations on a certain file. I spent hours trying to resolve the issue to no avail. I ran across one of Steve’s blog posts in my research. His article emphatically stated to *NOT* do all the things I had just done. So I reached out to him to see if he could help. He responded quickly. Within minutes I had him on a remote session on the server and in minutes he completed what I was working hours on. Steve really knows his stuff. I’m keeping his contact info close by. When your SQL DB goes belly up, knowing a guy like Steve is like gold.
Most of the time it takes a bit of work to repair a corrupt database, but in this case we were able to get it fully repaired, and back up in running in just about an hour.
