All

I have re-built my database after a monumental pigs ear, thanks to everyone for your patience and help with the redo.log thing. I am trying to get to the stage of backing up the database so this is not repeated. I have set the database to the archivelog mode was attempting to set up the management server when it started whinning about TNS connection closed. I have re-booted and stopped services re-started services, had a cup of tea etc,etc. Can anyone give me a clue of :
1. How to get me able to communicate with the database again. 2. The best method of perfoming a backup should the unthinkable happen again

I cannot access the database at all at the moment from the client or server. I am 'running' this on NT4 with oracle 8.1.6

Thanks in advance
