RE: Dictionary location or initSID.ora and PWDsid.ora

I think it would just be best to follow the OFA standard and backup the everything under $ORACLE_BASE occasionally. If your sysadm runs incrementals on the server any changes to the init file should always be backed up. Changes should also be documented in some other change log/request etc..If you are following OFA then your init file is usually in $ORACLE_BASE/$ORACLE_SID/pfile with a pointer/link from $ORACLE_HOME/dbs

D'oh! I forgot about those.

Getting them out of the registry is another problem.

Do you know Perl? Use Win32::TieRegistry.
