I have copies of dbf files sitting on a server. Management doesn’t want me deleting them. So to garnish space, can I compress these? They are only copies of the existing readonly dbffiles…

Hi Brian,
How old are those files? What does your management expect from having them? What is your company's backup strategy? Do you have an enterprise backup suite? How frequently do you take backup and where do you store it? How do you take backups?
Regards
