Enterprise Server Issue with journal-file

[Martin Schroeder]

thank you Jim for your reply;

but that's what has had happend several times
(fortunately not during the last two weeks)

enterprise trashed the journal files as if it had them incorporated  
(restarting after a crash), and did not work because it could not find  
the databasefiles.
After quitting manually the server it started normaly working but  
without the last work from the journalfile...

Sorry for my bumpy description and I hope you can use it anyway.

Thank you very much for your hint to "Keep-It-Up", I have installed it  
and it works fine.
