I strongly believe in taking md5 check-sum of all my backups (database, configuration etc.). I definitely do a check-sum before the restore. I have seen in one situation of DB restore, the restore itself went successfully and there was a corruption in some of the blocks that affected a functionality of the DB. Doing a md5 check-sum after backup and before restore, would've pointed out the issue immediately. Ramesh <a href="http://www.thegeekstuff.com" rel="nofollow">The Geek Stuff</a> Vivek,
