RMAN question(s) 2007-10-02 - By Robert Freeman
Back Quite a nice improvement there! I would caution everyone to carefully test of course, but it seems to have worked well here. I would expect that recoveries may well go faster too.

Just an update on this - after running the compressed backups on this database and another one for 3 weeks now, they are consistently running much faster than before the compression - a little less than half the time they used to take, and the size of the backups is consistently reduced by about 87%. Pretty nice, thanks for the tip Robert!
Now to test the restores before I implement on my production database . . .

In case anyone is interested - I did a test of the 10g "as compresssed" backupset on a 285GB databases and here are the results:
W/O Compression: backup size = 280GB, backup time = 2 to 10 hours with an average of about 7.5 hours over the past 3 months (this goes to a disk staging area and later to tape on a Netbackup server with a LOT of other backup activity so there is a wide variance in backup times depending on what else is running at the same time)
W/ Compression: backup size = 36GB, backup time = 2.9 hours (only tested once so far)
Environment: AIX 5.3, Oracle 10.2.0.2, Netbackup 5.1 MP4, BaanIV ERP application data
