backups (Score:2)

Reminds me of an issue we had with Oracle several months ago. When upgrading from one version to another we needed to restore a *very important table* from a backup. Unfortunately, an ORA bug caused a particular table to be corrupted in the backup. Testing backups...very good idea.

  I'm very happy I created a backup script, and tested it. Like you I've been bitten in the past by not making a backup, or having bad and/or out of date backups.
