Hi Sven, yes it was requested before. But currently you have to do something like:
dbmcli -d ... -u ...,... medium_put DATAPIPE /tmp/sapdbpipe PIPE DATA mknod /tmp/sapdbpipe p dbmcli -d ... -u ...,... -uUTL -c backup_start DATAPIPE & cat /tmp/sapdbpipe | gzip >sapdbbackup.gz rm /tmp/sapdbpipe Best Regards, Tilo Heinrich SAP Labs Berlin -----Original Message----- From: Sven Köhler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mittwoch, 26.
