During an offline PROBKUP operation with the
-norecover option, bi files are backed up as well as the database files.
It is during the
read operation of the bi file that the process goes awry according to the stack trace listed above. The 1119 message indicates the database manager tried to verify the block that was requested was the block that was read and the verification failed.
This could either indicate that there is corruption in the dbkey or block on disk or that the wrong block was read into the buffer. As this message specifically relates to the bi files, if there were indeed bi corruption, then one wouldn't be able to subsequently truncate the bi file
without the -F option. In this case however, it is possible so we can safely assume that there is no bi corruption.
When the
bi blocksize is changed, a misconfiguration of the bi blocks results which the backup utility is (erroneously) detecting as corruption. For further detail, refer to Article,
