RMAN Backup Compressions tested in our Test ENV
RMAN Backup Compressions
To use this option, we can run the following RMAN commands
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
followed by ..
RMAN> CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM ‘BASIC’; -Default by Oracle
or
RMAN> CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM ‘HIGH’;
or
RMAN> CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM ‘MEDIUM’;
or
RMAN> CONFIGURE COMPRESSION ALGORITHM ‘LOW’;
Tests carried out our Etick - Test Database & Verified. However, it should be noted that use of
LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH, The backup set size and backup duration are shown below.
Compression Level ‘Basic’
backupset size: 327 M
time: 56 sec
Compression Level ‘HIGH’
backupset size: 266 M
time: 3 mins
Compression Level ‘Medium’
backupset size: 346 M
time: 35 sec
Compression Level ‘Low’
backupset size: 418 M
time: 15 sec
To summaries’ we can conclude:
LOW – corresponds to LZO (11gR2) – smallest compression ratio, fastest
MEDIUM – corresponds to ZLIB (11gR1) – good compression ratio, slower than LOW
HIGH – corresponds to unmodified BZIP2 (11gR2) – highest compression ratio, slowest
BASIC (which is free) – corresponds to BZIP2 (10g style compression) – compression ratio in the range of MEDIUM, but slower
To verify the time taken by backup & size etc
