Description:
mssearch (1492) Unable to rollback operation #128145954 on database D:\Program Files\SharePoint Portal Server\Data\Ftdata\SharePointPortalServer\sps.edb. Error: -510. All future database updates will be rejected.
CAUSE
This issue can occur if a backup program has locked the JET data and log files in the SharePoint Portal Server Ftdata folder. When you back up and restore a SharePoint Portal Server computer, only the MSDMBACK.VBS script that is shipped with the product, or a third-party backup solution that is specifically certified to work with SharePoint Portal Server is supported. If you use any other backup program, including Microsoft Windows 2000 Backup, you may receive the error messages that are described in the "Summary" section of this article.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, quit the backup process and restart the Microsoft Search (Mssearch.exe) service on the server.
MORE INFORMATION
To prevent this issue from recurring, ensure that the SharePoint Portal Server Ftdata folder that is referenced in the event log error messages is excluded in the unsupported backup program on the server. This folder typically resides on the drive that you installed the data files to during Setup (this folder is located in Data\Ftdata\SharePointPortalServer). Because the data files may have been moved after installation, verify that the Sps.edb and associated files reside in the path that is referenced in the event log errors.
