If you are using tar to create your backup, the answer varies. The GNU version of tar has an option (-z) that allows you to create compressed tarballs in one action. The Solaris version does not offer this option, but Solaris does offer the GNU version in the /usr/sfw/bin folder. AIX may provide a similar option or perhaps they include the GNU set of utilities as Solaris does. Good luck
