You may want to investigate 'sparse files' on MetaLink, as some
compression
utilities could cause problems.

Subject: GZip/WinZip...hot backups...
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!!!
Chris
