Hi,
Recently one of database server was restored from entire system restore (disk backups) after crash. All database were was restored by attach and reattach methods by vendors. After this we are able to take backup of all database except one which shows below error:
"The backup of the file or filegroup "" is not permitted because it is not online. BACKUP can be performed by using the FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online data.
When we check for full test catalog on storage area its doesn't show any catalog, so we cant rebuild, We also check for any full text index, but there were not indexes ever. But when we check database files in PRIMARY filegroup its shows one file 'sysft_FTCatalog' as offline as below.
select file_id,name,physical_name,state,state_desc from sys.database_files;
1 SIMSharedServices_DB F:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\SharedServices_DB.mdf 0 ONLINE
2 SIMSharedServices_DB_log F:\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\DATA\SharedServices_DB_log.LDF 0 ONLINE
65537 sysft_FTCatalog C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\FTData\FTCatalog 6 OFFLINE
Its seems that physical catalog files have been either deleted or moved somewhere. As we do not required this full text catalog in database, Please suggest how can me remove this file. (we tried removing file with alter database remove file as well for same but its doesn't worked either its show below error)
Msg 5009, Level 16, State 9, Line 1
One or more files listed in the statement could not be found or could not be initialized.
