RE: Compressing Export Dumps

Simon - I'll repeat (for the third time, I believe) that this sounds like an ideal use for database cloning. Much faster, and as a bonus you get to test your backups, which is always an excellent idea. More information can be found at

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.

        Subject:        Compressing Export Dumps

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,
