RE: DBA work load - BDBAFH #1

It's backup day today so I'm pissed off. Being the BDBAFH, however, does have it's advantages. I reassign null to be the tape device - it's so much more economical on my time as I don't have to keep getting up to change tapes every 5 minutes. And it speeds up RMAN too, so it can't be all bad can it? Of course not.

That sounds about right! You can get back to your boss with a little sleep deprivation tactics. Beep him hourly with the progress report and he'll trust you much more the next time. You can even beep you bosses boss and tell him that your boss told you to beep him hourly with a progress report. That should read something like : "applied archive sequences 789001 to 789567, 3456 more to go". That might result in some interesting career opportunities. One of these days I have to start my very own BDBAFH site.
