Only got one emailed reply to this - suggested EBU. Not an option. Our DBAs have no interested in trying to set up yet another unsupported system. I resolved this by avoidance, in case anyone is inte

Congrats on testing! As you found, it is important to also get the archive redo logs post-backup. Cheers, Wayne _______________________________________________ Veritas-bu maillist - Veritas-bu AT ma
