GZip/WinZip...hot backups...

A fellow DBA had mentioned that during his disaster recovery test, gzip had unzipped his Solaris files but did not restore the .dbf extension. Thus leaving him to manually rename his files to include a .dbf extension. He examined the gzip man pages but could not find any flags to set or anything to help. Has anyone else encountered this? Ideas?

During a hot backup, on W2K platform, he uses WinZip to backup/compress all the datafiles into one large backup file. Has anyone encountered any problems with using this approach? Versus using the ocopy or copy command? He mentioned that on occasion he gets an error message from WinZip that the file was open, but everything "seems" to work.

Many thanks in advance!!!

Chris
