Hi all,

It is not advisable to take RMAN backups through the network on
Windows. However this is the solution we have to deal with for one of
our customers.
All backups take about 10 times longer than they should (taking the
backup to a local disk and then transfering the backup pieces on the
UNC path is 10 times quicker, this matches the maximum bandwidth of
the link).

Oracle support just answered that it was a Windows issue and that they
could not help.
I've read a few posts about similar problems on the net, but none were answered.

Any idea?

That's Oracle 9.2.0.5.0 on Windows 2000, latest OS patches.
