killthe server while a backup is in progress, the backup is broken. It's correct that the server refuses to start up
fromthe broken backup. So basically, don't do that.<p dir="ltr">Hmm.. What I did is simplly restarting server just
aftera crash but the server was accidentially in backup mode. No backup copy is used. Basically, the server is in the
samesituation with the simple restart after crash. The difference here is the restarting made the database completly
uselesswhile it had been not. I wish to save the database for the case and I suppose it so acceptable.<p
