Banner Crash Recovery Announcement. On Wednesday, August 6th, we experienced a database corruption of the Banner database. Due to some unusual circumstances, we were unable to utilize normal Oracle database recovery techniques. As a result we had no choice but to restore the database to the state it was in as of the last full backup which occurred on Sunday, August 3rd. We then attempted to identify as much data as possible from the corrupted database and transfer those transactions back into the newly restored instance of the database. We believe we successfully retrieved and restored a signficiant percentage of the data. In cases where we believed it to be better to work with specific offices to identify and manual re-enter data, we have taken that approach. However, it is not possibly to know for sure that we restored all transactions that occured in Banner from Sunday, August 3rd at 3:00 am until about Wednesday, August 6th at 11:30 am. We encourage you to review as much data as you can that you believe you entered, deleted, or modified during that time period and report to IITS anything you believe has not been recovered.
