MPM provides a data file recovery feature that can repair files whose indexes become corrupt. If the data file recovery feature does not fix the problem, you will need to restore all project files from a backup. Regardless of the recovery process, be sure all users are logged off MPM before beginning the recovery.
When you run the Recover Files function, MPM creates a temporary file for each file you select as follows:

During the recovery process, MPM first copies your designated files to a temporary file (MPM*.TMP). The original file is retained intact while the temporary file is updated.
If for any reason the processing is aborted without completing, you can correct the error condition (for example, lack of disk space) and begin the recovery again. If the recovery is successful, MPM copies the temporary file back to the original file and then deletes the temporary file. MPM does this for each file.
