RMAN Incremental merge

Hi

 

I want to implement the incremental merge feature for 10g
http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/10gdba/week9_10gdba.html
it would save a great deal of time on the backup, but we need to use the
compression feature. 

 

I was wondering how many people had implemented this and would they know
(I have had a google first)

 

-          Does it only work on copies and not for backupsets?

-          Backup copies cannot use compression? so does this mean that
the backup will be the same size of the database?

 

Thanks

 

Rob
