Hello,

Software compression only works for file-based backups; the files, as they are read, are sent through a software compression tool e.g. UNIX 'compress'. An "incr" (incremental) backup implies that you use the Oracle RMAN. RMAN accesses the data blocks of the DB directly, so this is not a file system backup => hence no software compression.

The message is only a warning (the "W" after the error code), which explains why you still get your backup.
