Hi Ozzie,

If there was a problem with going back then I'd end up restoring from tape which would probably result in downtime during business hours. Checking with others at least gives me some confidence that I wouldn't end up having a conversation with management if I hadn't checked which would go something like:

Mgt: Why did you do it? Me: Y2K test Mgt: Has anyone else done it? Me: Don't know, didn't check Mgt: What do you mean you didn't check? Me: (gulp) Mgt: Better start printing your CV out! Me: can't, it's on the filer which has crapped itself! 8-)

You get the picture.

Many people didn't expect the Y2K problem either. 8-)

I have done this and then reset it with no problems (I'm not sure why you'd expect any).

(This was with the 5.3 release)
