Hi,

I am investigating a backup strategy for our database (15 tables with many inserts, deletes, updates, selects; no table with more than 10000 rows. The number of rows is constant over the day, i.e. there are as many inserts as deletes)
and I wonder what horror scenarios I should plan for. I need high availability of the database.

In plain words: What can and will go wrong at a database installation site?
Harddisk crash? DB crashes caused by what? Please give me your latest horror.

TIA,
