UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Ok, so I inherited a system with Ingres 2.6 - which they will migrate to SQL Server soon... But until then, we still need to make sure the database is recoverable in case we need to. The issue is that the backup script is failing on rollforwarddb as you can see below. Where the heck do I start to troubleshoot this issue? My background is Oracle & SQL Server, so this is a totally new animal. Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: after looking through some more logs, I ran the following command with the result below:

[535 /ing26/ingres/home] <<ING26>> rp3440-server->infodb dbname
==================Sat Jun 13 17:25:18 2009 Database Information=================

The Database is Inconsistent.

The Database has been Checkpointed.
The Database is not Journaled.

Journals are not valid from any checkpoint.
