Are you doing the backup on a medium which is on a NFS-share or similar? This might be the reason. Use a pipe medium and do a piping like
cat /var/opt/sapdb/pipe | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat - \> /backup/filename
or with zip
cat /var/opt/sapdb/pipe | ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] gzip -1 - \> /backup/filename

Hi,
I just noticed that for the past few days, my complete data backup is Staying at 2GB, exactly.
This does not seem correct as each day the incremental grows by around 400MB (we recently lost a lot of data, and hence have started more regular backups, and had to grow back up to > 2gb).
I am running redhat linux 7.3.
Is the backup file size limited to 2 GB? And if so, how am I supposed to do a complete backup?
Regards
