5.0 out of 5 stars The book is practical. Need more live examples for recovery
The book is very practical. Recovery being a very critical process, can include more live examples on recovery. A demo CD would be idle.

3.0 out of 5 stars Wasn't thoroughly updated since Oracle 6.
Some of the tables, e.g., Export parameters are still Oracle 6 based. Book needs more diagrams too. Still, it's worth buying if only because there are few books of it's kind.

I'm disappointed that Oracle Press books are not "all that they can be".

4.0 out of 5 stars The book every Oracle DBA should have, April 28, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Oracle Backup & Recovery Handbook, 7.3 Edition: 7.3 Edition (Oracle Series) (Paperback)
An outstanding book with in-depth coverage of backup and recovery principles and valuable section of case studies (step-by-step recovery procedures for different kind of failures). The sample code is notoriously bugged but with some work these UNIX shell scripts can be fixed and be used for daily database backup. Very usefull to have (by the way, I have three different editions of this book (for Oracle 7, 7.3 and 8).
