Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: database disaster recovery
!! Please do not post Off Topic to this List !!
Well, all our servers were fine as of the time our building was evacuated on Tuesday but I got paged on Wednesday that our 100 Wall St. office had lost power and was running on generator. Fortunately the only machines I had there were our standby server (so we're running without a standby at the moment), our development server (I ftp'ed the last export file over to a NJ server and will probably be importing the development schemas to our QA box as an interim measure) and a clone of our production server that we were using for upgrade testing. Somehow I don't think our planned upgrade will happen this weekend...
Some of my colleagues had production servers in NY and, with some minor snafus, have brought up the standby servers in NJ and switched everyone over.
I am having fond recollections of arguing about 3 years ago that we had to have our standby server in a different datacenter than our production server. When I first joined this group they were both in NY.

I'm curious. With all that's going on in New York, were any Oracle databases lost? Has anyone had to activate a disaster recovery plan and bring up their database at a new location? If so, how did that go? It would be interesting, and possibly instructive, to hear some real-life stories about what went wrong, what went well, etc.
Best regards,
