Using the XRebuild utility the index files are reconstructed from the files found into active directories (those files listed in DBPATH). So coping files to ...\pbk directory and running xrebuild must work. The xrebuild must be ran with the historian stopped, and make a backup copy of yours indexes files before to proceed. Hope this can resolve your problem Regards Claudio A.
