DATA Compression Using RMAN

Oracle RMAN introduced the capability to compress backups in version 10g. Compressed backups allow backups to be reduced in size regardless of unused blocks in datafiles, using the BACKUP AS COMPRESSED command. Compressed backups only work for backup sets and not image copies. The command BACKUP AS COMPRESSED backupset database creates a compressed backup set for the entire database.

Untill Oracle 9i version you could reduce the size of backups backing up only us ed blocks and skipping unused

blocks: in this way you would reduce only the back up sizes of datafiles that were oversized or had significant free space. Oracle 10g RMAN has introduced the capability to compress backups: indeed it is possible now to compress backups regardless of the contents of the datafiles, us ing the new BACKUP AS COMPRESSED command. Compressed backups work only with backup sets (database, tablespace, and datafil e backup sets), so you cannot compress image copies. The following command will backup an entire database using a compressed backup set: RMAN> backup as compressed backupset database; To configure the default backup type for a compressed backup set use the following command: RMAN> configure device type disk backup type to compressed backupset; Compressed database backup sets are compressed at approximately a 5-to-1 ratio, or 20 percent of the size of a standard backup set.
