1.Oracle参考文档中关于RMAN备份压缩的描述
1）关于如何通过调整RMAN参数启用取消备份压缩功能
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/setup004.htm#sthref229
使用关键字COMPRESSED启用RMAN压缩备份方法
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO COMPRESSED BACKUPSET;
去掉COMPRESSED关键字取消RMAN压缩备份方法
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
2）关于如何直接使用RMAN命令启用备份压缩功能
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14192/bkup002.htm#BRBSC138
两条压缩备份的RMAN语句，第一条语句实现对整个数据库及归档日志进行压缩备份，第二条命令实现对1、2和4号数据文件进行压缩备份。
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG;
BACKUP AS COMPRESSED BACKUPSET DATAFILE 1,2,4;
2.测试压缩备份
1）测试脚本
（1）具有压缩功能的测试脚本
[oracle@secdb rmanbak]$ cat test_rman_compress.sh
date
rman target / <<EOF
backup as compressed backupset full database format '/u01/app/oracle/rmanbak/full_bk1_%u%p%s.rmn';
exit;
EOF
date
（2）不含压缩功能的测试脚本
[oracle@secdb rmanbak]$ cat test_rman_nocompress.sh
date
rman target / <<EOF
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
backup full database format '/u01/app/oracle/rmanbak/full_bk1_%u%p%s.rmn';
exit;
EOF
date
3.执行RMAN测试脚本及结论分析
1）具有压缩功能的测试脚本执行输出结果
[oracle@secdb rmanbak]$ sh test_rman_compress.sh

3）比较时间消耗
从elapsed time可以得出以下信息：
channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:01:25
channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:00:07
channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:01:05
channel ORA_DISK_1: backup set complete, elapsed time: 00:00:15
启用压缩耗时： 00:01:25 + 00:00:07 = 00:01:32
未启用压缩耗时：00:01:05 + 00:00:15 = 00:01:20
结论：启用压缩备份耗时略有增加（在数据量较大的环境下这个时间差会比较大）。
4）从top监控CPU使用率上进行比较
启用压缩备份期间CPU使用率监控结果
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
4972 oracle 25 0 424m 52m 23m R 65.4 0.6 0:32.62 oracle
未启用压缩备份期间CPU使用率监控结果
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND
5902 oracle 25 0 423m 47m 25m R 33.1 0.6 0:09.17 oracle
结论：启用压缩CPU使用率在65.4%左右，未启用时的CPU使用率在33.1%左右。差别很明显，启用压缩将消耗更多的CPU资源。
5）比较生成的备份集大小
压缩备份集大小
[oracle@secdb rmanbak]$ du -sm /u01/app/oracle/rmanbak/full_bk1_2nlje62e187.rmn
168 /u01/app/oracle/rmanbak/full_bk1_2nlje62e187.rmn
未压缩备份集大小
[oracle@secdb rmanbak]$ du -sm /u01/app/oracle/rmanbak/full_bk1_2tlje6kl193.rmn
951 /u01/app/oracle/rmanbak/full_bk1_2tlje6kl193.rmn
结论：启用压缩功能，备份集大小是168M，而未启用压缩功能的备份集大小有951M大，是压缩备份集的5.7倍。这就是压缩备份带来的最大好处。
4.小结
使用RMAN备份压缩技术可以在很大程度上节省存储备份的空间，是典型的以时间和CPU换取空间的做法。如果系统有合理的备份窗口，不妨将这项技术引入到日常备份中去。
Good luck.
