OK... I'd say that this is a good candidate for jbb.

I made all the changes & restarted the Journal Service.
This is what the stats look like usually for all the file systems on the
server (4)!

You're welcome!   :-)

My recommendations:

1) I think the 2 GB file is symptomatic, as the journal db will "break" if
the file exceeds 2 GB in size. This is suspicious, and if the behavior
repeats itself, please open a call with support so that we can do more
in-depth diagnostics.

2) Make sure you following *all* the recommendations in the README file
with
regard to NAV, including the NotifyFilter settings.

3) Sorry, I meant to add this in my prior response, but forgot: Change the
NotifyBufferSize from the default value of 0x01000000 to 0x04000000.

3) Yes, you should shut down the journal service, delete the *jdb* files,
then restart the journal service. Again, the first backup will be a full,
but then let's see how it goes from there. Also keep an eye on the *jdb*
files. Unless you have a *huge* number of files that change on a daily
basis, the journal database should not grow so large. And if you have that
many files changing daily, then journal-based backup is probably not a
viable solution.

Best regards,

Andy

FIRST THANKS!!

How large are the journal db files (named like *jdb*)?
Between 1k & over 2 Gig

I am using NAV 7.60 & made the registry change

Also I added the PreserveDbOnExit=1 per the readme!

Do I need to restart any services?
