My RMAN cold backup has a 51GIG file in it. That way I don't have to worry about having the uncompress utility available in the event that I need to do a restore. If you would like to have smaller RMAN file you set the channel limit for the file size you want. Ron >>> Greg Norris 02/02/2005 11:48:37 AM >>> Gzip (man gzip) is what you're looking for. Make sure you've got a recent version (not likely to be a problem under Linux, but I deal with quite a few Solaris servers with an ancient release), and you should have no trouble. IIRC, 1.3.5 is the current version. On Wed, 2 Feb 2005 10:00:38 -0600, Smith, Ron L. wrote: > We have been using the standard Oracle export piped into the Compress > utility on Unix for years.
