Re: RMAN and NFS

Depending on your architecture, NFS may have a low file size limit, and may not work for you. There's no real reason you need it anyway.

On Unix, just use tablespace hot backup mode and dd bs=128K if=<file> | rsh <hostname> | dd bs=128k of=<file>

And do it in parallel within the capacity of your system.

Faster than anything you can do with RMAN.

Unless you figure out the 10g RMAN pipe interface, where you can make RMAN write to a named pipe. If you do, please share.
