RE: VFYIMGCLG Parameter

Hi Jerry

I got that what you are saying was tongue in cheek - my response was bit the
same. But the point is that it is still worth doing a recovery. I do quite a
few and I still refer to the book although I have pretty good plans and can
do it mostly from memory - but minor things change and there are quite a few
seemingly minor details that add up if you are doing a recovery for real. If
you've at least seen them before then a recover "done in anger" has a much
better chance of succeeding first shot.

Clearly you're aware of this, I was just taking advantage of your tongue in
cheek comment :)

Regards
Evan Harris

True, Evan. I was more or less saying that tongue-in-cheek. I even have an
advantage that many out there don't - a backup machine on which I can
practice.

I admit that we've gotten rather complacent here what with the systems being
so reliable. The biggest problem we've had is a disk drive going south.
The system, of course stayed up, and the CE replaced it while everyone kept
pulling and pushing orders. Did have to take it down for a cache battery
replacement, but that was quick and painless.

We have had business interruptions, but not related directly to the i5.
Things like a backhoe operator digging up the phone lines.

But I will get on it asap.
