All,

I am attempting to perform Rman disk backups on a data warehouse. While the disk backup runs fine, the size of the output files are, of course, huge. What I would like to do is to pipe the output of the Rman backup while it is running to something like Gzip so that the file gets created compressed. My other option is to break the backup into a tablespace by tablespace multi-Rman run process and gzip or compress the files in between each step.

Anybody found a way to do this?

thanks

PS - Oracle 9.2.0.3 on Sun Unix.
