Thank you all for your replies, even for the ones which were not as
polite as they could be. The reason for discussion groups is to try to
get people's opinion on topics, and no one should be insulted while
asking a valid question. The backup/recovery scenarios are not always
as clear-cut as some DBAs make it, as can be witnessed by the
thickness of Oracle's books on this topic. I'm just starting in the
DBA field, and I'm never the kind of person to just follow a procedure
blindly. I had to deal with such a DBA in the past (the type who can't
do anything without his notebook), and I hope to never see him again.
It's by trying to go deeper that we improve ourselves, and are better
prepared for any situation which might arise in the future.
