Re: Problem in refresh

Thanks everyone for all your excellent support an ideas.

There was a request from DEV team to restore and recover the previous requested backup and that has become useless due to overwritten of the same index datafile. Also the production backup was also corrupted and fortunately we were safe as we noticed in prior.

As Jared said, we will look into the script and put a check if that particular database has duplicate datafiles on different mount points while backup is running and alert back us.

For now the issue is resolved as dev team were ok in having the latest backups clone.

Thanks again for all your kind support and suggestion.

Regards,
Ann
