*** DBAs asking for "shielding" help so that they can focus on their
goals; try to intercept things that you can that are addressed to them
For context, even if it is probably not necessary, but it could sound pretty selfish if not (everybody has its goals), the goal happens to be "have backups working after the current system broke", and that is the only reason we are pushing hard for it. Those backups include most of your relational data, too. O:-)
