Re: Help - lost rollback files - thanks

Hi Guys

Just to say thanks for the advice.

Using your advice I've managed to rebuild one of my Instances. I'm 90% sure that I can rebuild the second one, but unfortunatley the third instance is so damaged that I'm just going to have to delete it and start again.

Anyway thanks again

Cheers
Pete
