The vRanger database is corrupt or exceeded the maximum size and must be compacted/trimmed or re-created.
Check the size of the esxRanger.mdb file. If it is less than 1GB try a compact/trim in the menu options.
To Trim and Compact the database:
1) Choose the Action Menu Item from the vRanger GUI
2) Database Maintenance.
3) Trim Records and Compact Database.
If it is over 1 GB:
1) Close the vRanger GUI-
2) Delete the C:\Program Files\Vizioncore\esxRanger Professional\esxRanger.mdb file.
3) Make a Copy & Rename the FactoryDefault.mdb to esxRanger.mdb
*** Deleting the database only removes your backup history- you can always choose a "Restore from Info" file if necessary.******
* If you are running Differentials - it will start will new a new Full/Diff Sequence.
* Any old backups will need to be manually deleted as the retention will only work on new backups.
* Any virtual machines that you were configured to skip disks in the backup, will need to be "unchecked" again in the GUI- as the default is to backup all drives.
