Customer Reviews

Excellent Reference Book

This book does an excellent job in helping both the experinced and the novice learn about the Oracle Backup and Recovery features. It saved me a lot of time and money (didn't have to hire that consultant). Excellent explination of features and actually gives sound advice.

good strong coverage of Oracle 8i backup and recovery

The first five chapters of this book have good technical information, but could be better if expressed more clearly. Forget that! The other five chapters have great technical information and got through to me very well. Chapter 10 is a set of 22 valuable "case studies" in which the authors simulate a set of failures they say are representative of DBAs' most common problems. For each, they explain the right DBA reactions; sometimes they explain other reactions and why those are aren't as useful. Good connections with Oracle. Strong technical credibility. Great explanations in the second half. Valuable!

Best Of the Oracle Press Series

Well written, informative, accurate. The coverage of recovery internals is excellent. The only book in the bibliography of Oracle's "Oracle 8i Data Server Internals" seminars.

Book I have been waiting for....

Finally book that explains it all. Very simple, easy to read/understand. Backup commands in various operating systems VMS, Windows NT, UNIX, VMS, Physical, logical backups and useful backup scripts. Author has done excellent job explaining backup/recovery using Oracle Enterprise Manager 2.1 against Oracle 8i database. Very good examples on using Oracle Console/Oracle Management Server. This book is very new and has already one of my favorite book among other Oracle press books I have in my library. Oracle Enterprise Manager is available on OTN Network for download ...
