In answer to your statement above you may not be an idiot but you've put yourself into a situation that is idiotic.

Very simply: Anyone using an Oracle database under restrictions that the data can not be backed up is playing Russian roulette. There is no question a disaster will strike. The issues is when ... not if. And it will happen again and again and again.

Does the no backup rule also restrict you from using RAID or just common sense?
