In the growing enterprise IT systems, data capacity is expanding in geometric progression. Even if DBAs are aware of the importance of backup, they will still suffer from problems such as lack of backup storage space, backup failures or unavailable, physical storage disaster damage, and so on. Therefore, it’s necessary for DBAs to familiar with a physical data recovery tool and understand how to use it.
If your Oracle database downs due to an unexpected failure, the physical storage is damaged and cannot be restarted, and you are stuck in the backup is too old to be used. Then you can consider trying PRM-DUL for emergency rescue processing.

-------------------------
There are many types of errors to show Oracle Database’s disaster damage or block corruption:
Such as block corruption/bad block, index corruption/ bad block, row corruption/ bad block, UNDO corruption/bad block, control file corruption, consistent read problem, data dictionary corruption, data file/RDBA/BL problem etc. If you meet ORA-1578 / ORA-8103 / ORA-1410 / ORA-1499 / ORA-1578 / ORA-81## / ORA-14## / ORA-26040 / ORA-600 …errors but failure to recover it, we advise you to try PRM-DUL as one of your data rescue means.
