Backup not working in 2005

I am trying to backup a database that was moved from 2000 to 2005 and I get
the following error message:
The backup of full-text catalog ‘Attachment’ is not permitted because it is
not online. Check errorlog file for the reason that full-text catalog becomes
offline and bring it online. Or BACKUP can be performed by using the
FILEGROUP or FILE clauses to restrict the selection to include only online
data.
Why am I getting this message and how do I fix it?
Thanks,
Emma
My guess is that the 2000 database had full.text catalogs which for some reason isn't there anymore.
2005 treats a full text catalog as a filegroup when it comes to backup and restore. Perhaps you
don't want this full-text meta-data hanging around? If so, I'd remove it so it won't interfere with
the backups. DROP FULLTEXT CATALOG seems to be what you'd want to use.

fine.
Thanks

|||Thanks for the response. I will try that as well. For now, enabling the Use
full-text indexing took care of the error message as well.
Thanks.
