Hello,

when I try to make a backup from my sql database I get the following error:

Inconsistent metadata has been encountered.

How can I solve this problem? There is almost no data in the database ...

Best regards,
Sven.

Hello,

I run on the failing DB:

select * from sys.database_files

and I get 2 files Id = 65537 and 65538 that have the status
FULLTEXT in the column type_desc

Is this normal?

Both of the files are offline! Is there a way to drop these files?

Best regards,
Sven.
