TMG unstable & then locks up; restores don't help

[Ginny Winslett 0]

I need help with stabilizing TMG V9.  For a few weeks I began having larger & larger optimize results although few changes had been made between optimizations.  Then after working on several bios in a single family, I could not access any tags in TMG and could not access tags in a backup made at that point.  (I note here the Filtered header is on above my tags but the controls have long been grayed out with no obvious impact.)  I went to the previous backup; file integrity said it fixed 2,xxx errors.  I did a number of restores & even reloaded the SW thinking the Filtered issue might be a cause but TMG locked up each time.

A Users Group member restored my backup to his computer,  turned off Filtered, I restored that version, filtered immediately came back on with no control available to it turn off, and that restored version worked for a couple of hours, but also with large optimize results and then TMG locked up and I cannot access tags in that backup. 

I have now gone back to an even earlier backup and restored that, did all 3 maintenances with no issues, changed the parents for 3 children, and optimize shows 653,566 bytes saved, so I know this is going to lock up again soon. File integrity shows no issues.

What do I do next?

Ginny,

I don't know what would cause the instability that you describe. The optimize byte count is mainly updating the index files and is of no consequence.

I'd like to examine your project.
