Hi Anil,
Why not pipe the mysqldump direct into gzip?
eg: mysqldump etc ... | gzip -c
Regards

Subject: Managing big mysqldump files
Hi List,
We are facing a problem of managing mysqldump out put file which is
currently of size 80 GB and it is growing daily by 2 - 3 GB, but we
have a
linux partition of only 90 GB.. Our backup process is first generate
the
mysqldump file of total database and then compress the dump file and
remove
the dump file. Is there any way to get compressed dump file instead of
generating dump file and then compressing it later. Any ideas or
suggestions
please
Thanks
Anil
