ooh I love doing "brain dumps"

1. how many databases, where are they (machine, disk layout)
2. backup schedules, all processes and procedures associated with them
3. monitoring scripts -- how often are they run, where are they run from
4. contact information -- who does what (sysadmin, operations, users)
5. recovery procedures -- what's the schedule for testing them
6. escalation process -- when do you contact higher management and turn things over?
7. where are all the scripts you run?
8. daily/weekly/monthly/yearly schedules (I'm doing a monthly data load right now, if I got hit by a bus, they'd need to know when and how to run it)
9. CSI numbers if you have them
10. Oracle Sales Rep contact
11. where the coffee pot is <G>

this is just fast, off the top of my head, in no particular order....
