Hi all,

I've got what is probably some FAQs, but I'll ask it any way...

I see a big difference between the size of a database backup
and the size of all of the exported tables.

For example, I've backed up a database that creates a 4GB file. 
If I export all of the tables for that same database (using
db2move) the total size is 1.7GB. 

My questions:

Why the big difference?

Is there a way to make the backup smaller?


TIA,

Doug Carter
