With Arcserve, it doesn't take long for the database to grow and become out of hand and easily corrupted. I reinitialize mine from time to time. Start up arcserve server manager, click on the database engine, and Initialize database is under tools I believe on the menu bar. Just initialize all databases and if that doesn't work, I have an empty database I keep around just for this type of emergency that I could email ya. fyi, the database consists of about 30-40 or so files. Keep in mind that after initializing the database you will need to merge any time in you need to restore from.
Hope this helps.
Pete
