Re: Exp with Compress, dmp corrupted !

I had a similar sounding problem once with compressed export. Never = received an error message, all logs looked fine, etc. But just by looking = at file sizes (after the fact, of course) I could see the export was much = smaller than it should have been. When I re-exported everything looked = the same, except the dump file was much larger and had the added benefit = of actually working. Now I keep a file size history and double-check just = to make sure. Never happened again but you never know...
