I ran it through the Google translating widget; it's an already running system.

Billing and accounts payable no less.

The enquiry relates to a damaged disk and a solution to restore services.

Given they're now asking _here_ I guess that answers the next obvious question of "Do you have working backups to restore from?"

I'm surprised to hear of such a positively ancient system still being used in production. I guess I really shouldn't be.

I suspect a scenario along the lines of an extremely dusty box in the bottom of a rack and "nobody knows how this works - it was setup 2 decades ago by our DBA who left 15 years ago, but it's still working fine.

What could possibly go wrong?"

I'd be more interested in seeing the response if the OP opened a Service Request with Oracle for assistance.

PS - Hi I'm new here, I mostly just lurk and read the 1/100 articles that are actually on-topic.
