Re: Compressing RMAN backup pieces at O/S level

I did intend to add that an upgrade to 10g, especially given 9i's desupport
in 6 months, is a sensible alternative. On windows of course there is no
need for the external utility in the first place. I believe the same applies
to solaris 10.

backupset database;, a lot for our 10.2 databases because it is easy to
use and enables us to keep 2 to 3 times more backups online on disk. On Win
it isn't so easy to use external compress utilities as part of the
Oracle backup transaction.
