Re: Oracle on NT versious UNIX

No offense, but are you serious? Spend 15 hours to recover from a disaster? When I loose an NT box completely (its happened twice) I boot from the alternate NT partition. (I never have an NT box without a bootable emergency partition).

Then I restore the backup tape.

Then I am done.
