Jared, Carel-Jan
Thanks for the careful read. The unfortunate thing about Powerpoint slides is that to keep them interesting you trim out all the details. Yep, have long advocated testing backups. Unfortunately if you say "Recovery is job #1" it sounds like you are speaking at an AA meeting. - One point on the slide says "Don't trust an untested backup config.", which I used to describe the importance of recovery. - Slide #20 offers one good way to incorporate recovery testing: - "Clone test databases from a backup"

Page 17: I somewhat disagree with this. Backups are very important, but there is something even more important. Do you remember what the name of RMAN means? ( are you with me Carel-Jan?)
Jared, I'm here, with you!
Best regards,
