Recovery without media or download of CD
We are running Oracle 8.1.7 on Windows 2000 Server in our production environment and we do not have the media or a download of the CD. We are planning to upgrade to the current version. I'm concerned with recovery of Oracle and how to reinstall in the event of a server crash. Can you recommend a methology for recovery?
Another approach is to 'ghost' your database server which would involve taking an image of the entire machine, including the registry entries. It would be best to do this with the database(s) shut down so that you can also get a clean offline backup of the database(s) at the same time as the software.
