Guys,
I recently as a consultant had to take it on the chin when I couldn't get a sys. admin. to do his diagnostics or believe it was actually a hardware failure and after (of course) unsuccessfully restoring/recovering and then finally recovering the database when the hardware failure was diagnosed (after I insisted on them bringing in a SUn technician and begging the sys. admin to come in and verify the hardware for a few days) and they found mirroring problems..... Very frustrating.... In any case, I just took the backup/recovery self-exam for the first time after reading the Cor. book - except last couple of chapters and got 87% - 8 answers wrong. Can't help feeling a little vindacted and frustrated all at the same time. I might have to consider the Sun Solaris exams but don't really wish to....geez....
