Ruth - The RMAN documentation says the test of where you can save your backup is whether Oracle can do a CREATE TABLESPACE to that location. That is what rules out tape except through a certified media manager. I would guess that also rules out compressing through a pipe, but if you get it to work, let the rest of us know.
