Corrupted Jobs Database

Modified on Mon, 21 Aug, 2023 at 11:10 AM

If you're encountering an error similar to the one shown below :


LiteDB.LiteException: File is not a valid LiteDB database format or contains a invalid password.


This may particularly occur if upgrading from 2.1 to 2.2 or 2.3



  1. Find the folder C:\ProgramData\Fungusware\Xackup
  2. Check you have a recent backup-xackup-jobs.json file.
  3. Shut down Xackup
  4. Rename the xackup-jobs.db to xackup-jobs.xxx
  5. Start Xackup
  6. If you have no errors, go to the File Menu and choose Restore Jobs Database


This should import the most recent Jobs backup.
