From what I'm reading at

http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96565/rcmsynta30.htm#90469

the HOST operation would be done _after_ the backup. I haven't tested it yet, but it seems that like that still wouldn't help. I would need the files to be gzipped as they come off the line while the next piece is being worked on. I'll test it now. Received on Mon Nov 10 2003 - 09:59:40 CST
