brtools latest version

aix 5.3, oracle 10.2

i changed

#rman_compress = no | yes

to

rman_compress = yes

backup_dev_type = disk

disk_copy_cmd = rman

rman_compress = yes

can someone, anyone tell me what to change in initSID.sap and or the command line to make this work ?

I have been informed by SAP that SAP brbackup when using RMAN will not

allow for data written to disk to be compressed.

Oracle 10gR2 can compress data to disk

Hi,

Just to have some light

RMAN> BACKUP AS COMPRESSED INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 TAG = WEEKLY DATABASE;

The clause AS COMPRESSED compresses data in the backup sets before sending them to the backup.

And some parameter like compress ,compress_cmd and disk_copy_cmd which you need to check.

well the light (documenttaion) that came with this great software is not very bright

where in initXXX.sap do i put

BACKUP AS COMPRESSED INCREMENTAL LEVEL 1 \

TAG = WEEKLY DATABASE;

the compress (-k)

CAN NOT BE USED WITH RMAN

have you ever tried it ?

there is no disk_copy__cmd in my initXXX.sap, brtools version 11,18 or 27
