I'll try that. Thanks. What happens if I don't back up the holding disk ? I mean, on my holding disk I have the dumps themselves, the logs, and the indexes. Should I exclude all this, or only the dumps themselves ? If I lose the index data, it means I will no longer be able to use amrecover right ?
