Verifying integrity

L

Linda

When the Database Utility is running to verify the integrity of the
database, how do you know that it is running and the progress? I
choose to check the integrity and then "Choose" or "OK" or whatever
the button said and then I don't see anything that shows that it is
running or how long it will take. No feedback in other words. So, how
do I know that the Database Utility is actually doing what it is
supposed to be doing?

You should see a progress bar then a button that says Done.

I prefer to verify the database using File > Export all items as Entourage
archive (.rge) file (this is the default setting).

If it completes without an error not only do you know your data is good, but
you have a backup of all your data.
