What you could do is, once the DBC is back to normal, run GenDBC on the DBC. This will create a .prg that will rebuild the complete DBC from nothing. If your indexes get corrupted, all you have to do is extract the code from the prg for rebuilding the indexes on the affected tables. You'll find gendbc in HOME()+"\tools\gendbc\gendbc.prg".
