My humble apologies to the list... He checked the backup script...
host gzip -cf1 /disk2/oradata/rcdc/system.dbf > /disk1/orabkup/rcdc/system.gz Good call Richard... There was a junior DBA that he was training that had setup the backup script. Oh well. Sorry for wasting everyone's time. A beer for everyone at the next IOUG...Jared is buying.... -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 3:24 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L A fellow DBA had mentioned that during his disaster recovery test, gzip had unzipped his Solaris files but did not restore the .dbf extension. Thus leaving him to manually rename his files to include a .dbf extension. He examined the gzip man pages but could not find any flags to set or anything to help. Has anyone else encountered this? Ideas? During a hot backup, on W2K platform, he uses WinZip to backup/compress all the datafiles into one large backup file. Has anyone encountered any problems with using this approach? Versus using the ocopy or copy command? He mentioned that on occasion he gets an error message from WinZip that the file was open, but everything "seems" to work. Many thanks in advance!!!
