I have a situation that I have no control with, but know I will be asked to fix when a problem occurs.
Can one recover a database that is ONLY backed up from a OS backup utility (basically backing up every file ) when the database is opened. I know this is bad, I've told them, but I know I will be involved in recovery some data? Is this at all possible, to recover partially, completely etc, some data if I had to restore all files from a backup?

Reds,
John
