Hi, Just want to ask your opinion regarding backup and restore on 11i. What are the types of backup and restore on 11i? What would you recommend to a starter? Also are there any articles, tips and know how regarding this matter? I've been trying to search docs on metalink and I had little luck. I came across this article 230627.1: 9i Export/Import Process for Oracle Applications Release 11i, would you recommend this to a beginner. I'm overwhelmed just skimming through the page. Thanks, Chase
