This problem can be "worked arround" by restoring from two consecutive level 0 archives. The problem had to do with what are called "very old" archive pages. Basically, when we had a very old archive page, we did a dummy update on that page by marking the timestamp on that page to be the archive timestamp. Only problem was that some of those pages didn't make it to the backup. By using two consecutive level zero archives, if the page was a very old page when one of the archives was made, it could not be a very old page on the other. So by restoring the two of them, then the page should have been found on one of them. If this is not working, please contact support. It might be that there is some other problem that is being encountered. Madison Pruet
