Hello, I'm very glad to see heavy-hitters like Mr. McInnis providing valuable, detailed information about such an integral part of my job as a DB2 DBA. His response to a recent inquiry regarding shrinking backup size was to reduce the backup buffer size from its default of 1024 to a mere 129 pages, which I understand to be the size of four 32-page extents (with an extra page added on for management overhead). Is the amount of disk space saved proportional to the number of tablespaces being backed up?
