Need help in backing up of databases.
Hi Everyone,

I am new to DBA stuff. I wonder if anyone can help me. Task is that, I have 10 databases and need to take backups of all the databases using data pump in Unix/Linux, compress them using gzip and use cron to schedule the job twice a day.

Appreciate if anyone can help me in this. I was trying this for a week but no luck.

Thanks,

Hi,

may you please show on the post what you were trying 'till now, so we can figure out where you got so far.

Further, you mentioned datapump, so I can assume you're talking about Oracle DB: in the future please detail the software you are referring to.
If you need help with Oracle datapump you may begin with having a look at:
