Re: Compressing Export Dumps

Simon,

I'm curious as to why you're creating exports that large.

Are you doing this as a backup method?

Have you ever restored an export that large?

The largest export I've ever restored is about 10 gig, and it took far too long.

Hi all,
My export dumps are too big (80 GB) for my filesystem and I'm looking for a
way
to compress them on the fly -ie without taking *.dmp to disk first but straight *.dmp.gz
Anybody with an idea on how to archive this ? Thanking you,
