Hi, I am trying to backup through an NFS mount to a disk located in a different datacenter between some solaris boxes. This works, but I am not satisfied with speed/performance. Using ftp, i can transfer data at more than 30mbit/s, while NFS peaks at only 16Mbit/s I already use compressed backupsets. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot to tune in nfs client settings as oracle requires tcp, vers=3 and noac anyway. I tried to use more (and less) parallel channels but that didn't help much either. Any more ideas? Thanks Bjoern -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
