Netbackup/Sybase compression
Is there anyone using Netbackup's Sybase ASE database agent with compression?
Currently we backup our ASE databases to disk using the standard ASE backup commands with the "compress::" prefix then carry out disk backups. For us, Sybase compression results in much quicker disk backups than those done without compression.
According to the Netbackup documentation, the agent requires a "sybackup::" prefix in the backup filename.
Is there any way to also use Sybase compression with Netbackup or do I have to enable look into Netbackup compression in bp.conf (which will presumably be less efficient)?
I'm aware of the "dump database ... with compression" command, but that's only supported in more recent versions of ASE and ideally I'd like to do all versions with the same script. But if that is the only option then I'll look into that.
