Yes. When importing, I get back all the data I exported. And as far as "my" application is concerned, that's good enough. And it also works, which I of course tested.

Pray tell, why is it not a backup, if I get back everything I need?

Sorry Sybrand, but your glassball is severely broken. I just don't know where you could get a new one. So sorry.

1. I read everything
2. I asked quite some questions
3. I often stated, that I'm not experienced that much and would like to get advice

Proposal? I guess my newsfeed is broken, but so far I haven't seen a proposal. I'm still looking forward to hear a proposal - which is a bit more "complete" then somebody spitting a "Use RMAN!eleven!!1!".

Yes.

Wrong.

Like? You told me to do set the format to '/tmp/backup/%F.ctl'. As I showed, this did not work.

Correct.

This is "obviously" a false statement, as anyone can easily see.

Wrong. I did what you told me to do and that did not work. After that, you did not help anymore. Instead you went on to attack me personally - "argumentum ad hominem", I might say. Why are you doing that? You ran out of substance so fast?

> I'm just curious where your fucking arrogant attitude comes from.

Funny. *YOU* talk about arrogance? Hm, well, why not. After all, you have quite some first hand knowledge, don't you?

Is that the reason, why you are that way? Poor boy. Want a lollipop?
