Hi Anton,

I've read your posting and would like to try it out, cause I'm in a similar situation.
Could you please explain what you mean by 'export to pipe and compress on the fly' ?

Thanks in advance, Ciao Markus.

 Your resulting file must be < 2GB.

Onother way is to backup to tape using something like /dev/rmt0 (AIX)
as
 file-name. EXP asks for tape-capacity and will prompt for new tape.
