I'm don't proclaim to be a DBA, but I know we are using EBU to do hot
backups of this one Oracle 7.2.2 instance which won't die. Was 7.2.2 the
first to ship with EBU? The EBU database it uses is at 7.3.4 though.
I've gotten a test instance to mostly work now. NBU and EBU say that its
backup jobs are successful, but in the EBU log I'm getting EBU-4302
errors. Ugh, I wish the DBAs would just upgrade it...
