Gurues,


I am doing a backup by offlining the tablespaces and then copying the
datafiles across to a temporary location then I tar em off to tape and then
delete them.

I have struck a problem: SPACE.


instead of copying one at a time a need to copy to a tarfile and append to
it. I think there is a way of taring through a pipe or compressing on the
fly or something like that so any imput into this will prove extremely
valuable.

Currently I use

SQL> host cp /u14/oradata/PRD1/tasaudit_01.dbf /u05/tmpbackup/dbs


/u05 fills up therefore I have incomplete backups.


Thank you very much.


Luis
