Hi Vibhor,

Thanks for the suggestion.

We didn't try that yet, even though we did see others recommending this as a solution for similar corruptions in the past.

The main reason we have not gone down that path that after getting this error we do not have any confidence in the integrity of the rest of the database after performing the restore - maybe there are many more tables with corruption in them.

We are mainly concerned that our backups are valid. The fault does not seem to be present on the original database, only after restoring from the base backup + PITR.

Regards
Mike Harris
