Database repair and file inconsistency, circular dependency?

Looking at the output, it appears that there is some remote data missing. This would explain why some files have a length, but the data in the database is missing, giving length=0.

Normally, purge-broken-files could be used to fix it, but since the database was recreated, it is flagged as “incomplete” which prevents it from running.

Do you know what the original error messages were like? I am guessing they were something like “missing remote files”.

If my hunch is correct, you should be able to get it working by deleting the newest dlist file and then running the delete+repair cycle (don’t delete the file, just rename it, or copy it somewhere safe in case I am wrong).

Otherwise, I suggest just setting up a new backup to a new folder and continuing from there. If you need to extract files from the broken backup, you can use the RecoveryTool to get the data out.
