Repairing the Yosemite Backup Catalog

Just in case i ever need to repair the database again which seems to go funny more often than you would expect.

Yosemite KB TID:001583

Yosemite Backup incorporates a “self repairing” (ha!!!) database, however it may
occasionally be desirable to manually initiate a database repair operation.

TO REPAIR THE YOSEMITE BACKUP CATALOG MANUALLY:
1.  Close Yosemite Backup
2.  Stop the Yosemite Backup Service:
A.  Open a Command Prompt (Start > Run > CMD {ENTER})
B.  To change to the Yosemite Backup Directory type the following at a
Command Prompt:
1)  CD\ {ENTER}
2)  CD “Program Files” {ENTER}
3)  CD Yosemite {ENTER}
4)  CD “Yosemite Backup” {ENTER}
C.  Type the following at the Command Prompt:
ytwinsvc -x {ENTER}
D.  This will stop the Yosemite Backup Service on the local machine.
3.  Open the ytconfig.ini file in the Yosemite Backup directory
([Install_Path]\config, by default) on the Master Server.
4.  In the [configuration] section, add the following line:
repairDatabase=Yes
5.  This section should now look like this:
[configuration]
lastUser=admin
lastDomain=Yosemite Backup Storage Domain
nodeGuid={00001001-421F132A-0003F771-FFE580D7}
databaseServerAddress=localhost
isDatabaseServer=Yes
databaseServerName=Yosemite Backup Storage Domain
disableNetwork=No
remoteAdmin=No
repairDatabase=Yes
6.  Save and close this file.
7.  Open Yosemite Backup 8 – DO NOT RESTART THE SERVICE.
8.  The catalog repair will run automatically.
9.  After the repair has completed the Login screen will appear. Close this
window.
10. Restart the Yosemite Backup Service:
A.  Open a Command Prompt (Start > Run > CMD {ENTER})
B.  To change to the Yosemite Backup Directory type the following at a
Command Prompt:
1)  CD\ {ENTER}
2)  CD “Program Files” {ENTER}
