Ok, One more post, because Vite_rts asked,

Vite_rts, I was not the poster who is the Rocket Scientist In Process, That would be Lgn1. But I do think the two of us agree on the issue of backups & restores.

Most backups of data & applications are relatively simple, just rip it all off to another media & restore it if need be, but when it comes to high availability, live database applications & the continual locking of records for transactions, sometimes it makes it more difficult to get a complete restorable backup. More difficult yes, but never impossible. Many of the major database vendors have worked with the backup companies to develop solutions for their applications & databases to cure these issues & get restorable backups, I do not pretend to know what the ODP runs on, or how it works, so I would not/can not offer any solution. Sometimes you have to think out of the box to get the backup in a fashion so it can be used to recover from a disaster. The backup solution depends on the database software & the application & the way it is used, no one shoe fits all. But there is always a way, if the endeavor is worth protecting.

Ok, I really am trying to be done on this thread,
