Oh man! I had someone from EMC tell me that I had to uncompress my rman backups so their dedupe nonsense could handle the files. According to their "expert", dedupe of 1TB every night across the network is faster and safer than simply backing up 100GB compressed every night and throwing the weeklies away at the end of the month. I told him something along the lines of "in a pig's arse I'll uncompress my backups!" and it worked. So far. I'm sure they'll come back to harass me in 2012. Ah well: I'll just have to use a bigger stick... Received on Wed Dec 28 2011 - 17:15:06 CST
