Dear gurus!
Is it possible to compress ORACLE database backup using brtools?
I used all the option for the compression flag but it does not seem to work?
BR,

you want to compress your backups? where? on tape? on another disk?
have you investigated usage of brbackup -k ?
yes I intend to copy to tape and disk.
What do mean mean by "brbackup -k"?
That is new to me
Do I need to change nay value in the initSID.sap file?

You need to update initSID.sap file for 'compress' command.

Hi,
If you want to take the backup using DB13 then set the value for the parameter compression to "Yes" in the profile file init<SID>.sap.
If you are taking the backup using brtools, then you have the option to compress the backup in the menu itself.
If you would like to exceute the backup using brbackup command then use the paramter "-k" with value "yes".
Good Luck.

many thank varadhu!
The interesting thing is when i try to run the back from the brtools menu with the compression option as "yes"..
I get the error "locked choice"..
My brtools version is is 7.00 (24).
ORACLE database version is 10g
How do i unlocked it?
use:
brbackup -h
to get syntax.
then search the web a bit as this was answered many times before.
