Hey,

I've read online that the solution is to simply delete the damaged blobs.
Without really "knowing" what these blobs are, I'm nervous about it.
I have 2 .db files occasionally giving the "possibly damaged blob" to, is it
really safe to just go in and delete them?
Thanks,
James

MOre info about the blobs please.
Not sure what other info you want.
This comes up on my Groupwise POA 6.5.7 on the server.
In between the quickfinder indexes it will come up with:
"Possibly damaged blob in database = dmdd0703.db"
and
"Possibly damaged blob in database = dmdd0503.db"
and
"Possibly damaged blob in database = userp83.db"

Thanks for any input.

The first two are document management related. Dunno if you care about
those. See how info helps people advise you? The second is a user DB. It
will proobably mean a lost attachment to delete it. On the other hand
there isn't much you can do - it's telling you the file isn't readable.
