backup fails for IPB on server

[Peter Parker]

Hello,

I get this message when I try to backup my IPB install

mysqldump: Couldn't execute 'show create table `profile_portal_views`': Can't find file: 'profile_portal_views' (errno: 2) (1017)

anyone have any idea why this might be happening, and how to fix this so I can back up my install and migrate to a new server?

thank you!

You have a problem with the database. I think, you have remnant of the application or hook that you no longer use. Check your applications and hook, and compare your database tables.
You can try the repair database by selecting all tables.

you were correct! kind of... There was an old db backup still in the user account from more than 2 years ago that just started giving problems. Oh well gone now, and backup is complete.

thanks!
