My backend is on my fileserver, so there is no frontend there. I have
a dedicated frontend next to my tv and I have a frontend on my laptop.
The slave backend connecting and disconnecting is a new system I'm
building to replace my tv frontend. A possible cause for the regular
housleeping could be that the option to let the master manage all
filesystems was checked. I disabled it. There where some live records
on the new system from testing.
Thanks about the tips for rebuilding the database. I was thinking the
other way around. Restore the backup in parallel. Export the needed
records and importing them in the live database. For at least one
recordding, maybe two I don't have a record, for it was recorded in
between the last backup and thjs problem.
