Hello,
I have the following situation: a customer sent me a group of files, that he said to be a "backup" of an old database, that is no longer online (he doesn´t use our software anymore). However, he needs to recover the data in this database. The person at the company who generate these files doesn´t work there anymore, so we don´t have any of the following information:
- Database version, connection details, service names, user names neither tablespace names.
We were just told that these files were recorded in a DVD, and is que only source remaining.
The files he sent are the following:
ctrl\cf_satp_01.ctl
ctrl\cf_satp_02.ctl
ctrl\cf_satp_03.ctl
dad\df_satp_dad_01.dbf
idx\df_satp_idx_01.dbf
rbs\df_satp_rbs_01.dbf
redo\redo_g10_m1.dbf
redo\redo_g11_m1.dbf
redo\redo_g12_m1.dbf
sap\df_satp_sap_01.dbf
spo\df_satp_spo_01.dbf
sys\df_satp_sys_01.dbf
tmp\df_satp_tmp_01.dbf
Is there a way to access this data? Or can I tell our costumer that sorry.. sit down and cry.. your data is lost forever..
I´m not familiar with Oracle database backups, having worked with dumps everytime a needed something like this, so apologies if the answer is obvious.
Sorry for the poor english too!
Thanks,
Luiz Fernando Meier
