Anyone know what a Master$4IDR file is?

  • Let me look into my Crystal Ball.......ummm I see that you have Veritas Backup Exec 9.x installed.

    Read your documentation on BE 9.x. It says that if you have to restore your SQL Server, you need to restore VERITAS' MASTER Database not the SQL Server one. Or something like that.

  • oh what are you saying?  That Veritas created it?  Ick  I don't want those files.  I have backup redundency from SQL backup on tape and on disk in the backup directory.  Can I just deleted those $ files?

  • Sure, IF YOU DON"T WANT BACKUP EXEC TO WORK ANYMORE! (sorry for the all caps, I just want to emphasize what I'm saying).

    Those files are necessary for Backup Exec 9.x to work.
