Hi Kirk,
They eventually found the backup files :)

Re: Backup files - restoring backup

Pat,
I also see this happen when I'm developing and the log file or the datafile
gets replaced. Before everyone starts thinking I'm being incredibly sloppy
it happens when I pull a copy of the datafile off the server to open on my
developer machine. If I forget to trash the existing log file that's the
error that comes up.

Perhaps your client was doing some housekeeping on the server and
inadvertently moved a file - like the log file?

Since they don't think they are doing backups and if they are sure the
datafile is correct you can just trash the log file.

Or copy the datafile folder, trash the log file and restart.

Maybe. Or they have only a (very large) journal file ...
Because the backup isn't configured, but the writing the journal file is 
active.
