CRC Errors and its Occurrence:

Cyclic Redundancy Check Error is the basic reason for corruption experienced in back-up file. Basically CRC is one of error checking methods in data transmission, CRC creation is observed at the end of data transmission. Respective character evaluation relies on the Hexadecimal value of the entire 1’s present in the data block. Respective check helps to determine integrity of data block successfully and few bites gets lost or overwritten if it is not stable. Generally it occurs when transaction log files are missing or header files are corrupt. As this error is due to corrupt Log files so it is bit difficult to trap and to handle.

Command line to perform complete integrity check on all un-mounted EDB and Transaction Log files is:

Isinteg –s Servername [-fix]
