This process was interrupted due to some 'background' error (sorry, I don't know what it said exactly anymore). It appears that the result of that is that a random number of feature classess are now compressed and can not be accessed, used and viewed anymore. It involves 8 feature classes of over 100 in the file geodatabe.
