As a friend of mine used to tell me, “No one cares if you can back up—only if you can recover.” Yet how many backup chapters have you read that dedicate less than 10 percent to recovery? You won’t find that in this book. I have tried very hard to ensure that recovery is given treatment equal to that of backups. In fact, many times it is given greater treatment; the Oracle chapter has more than twice as much space dedicated to the recovery as it does to backups!
