What happens when you try it with disk (or even tape). Certainly disk and sbt are valid parameters to the command. I am not sure when writing to tape that a parallelism of 4 would speed things up all that much as the bottleneck will be getting the data onto the tape via the channels, not reading from disk Never tried it and just finished a position where I would have had a chance to - c'est la vie. Hence about 6 posts in 2 days, which equals my previous 6 months worth of contributions.

There are a lot of new config parameters in 9i that do reduce the size of scripts but I don't necessarily think that was a big overhead anyway. I think I preferred to see a script with a allocate channel commands and all the other details in rather than assuming that the parameters had been set by default

Subject: Rman Parallelism param

All,

Within Rman, I can : CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 2;

Does anyone know what this does? The docs only mention setting this for tape. I am hoping that I can spin up several rman backup processes at once to speed up a disk backup.

any thoughts would be appreciated - thanks!
