4D Tools

The primary function of 4D Tools is to help you analyze and repair a damaged database. Databases can become damaged when, for instance, there is a power failure while 4D is writing to cache, or when the disk containing the database becomes damaged. You will receive a message the next time you open it saying that “An error occurred while data was being flushed to disk. Use 4D Tools to check and recover your data file.”

Important: Before using 4D Tools it is important to take a backup of your Genie.4DD and Genie.4DR files.
