My solution is - to keep a backup of database on the same place, so every time I add/delete files from SD-card I also copy a global.db to global_.db.
And if global.db is corrupted I use a working version of global.db.
The problem with your solution: it is hard to backup/restore a database if it not a one big file. |
I've never seen a broken global.db, and I also use my DR a lot.
Anyway, it's not a big issue either. As you make a backup of global.db, you can make a backup of System/.covers directory as well.

I considered this, but don't think it's feasible.
A runtime option would make code too complex even with current changes only.
And providing two sets of binaries is very time consuming for me.
Anyway I've included a compilation flag in the code (DR800_ENABLE_NODB_COVERS in ermetadb and ctb) to enable or disable it so anyone could build their own binaries if they want.
