Hi,
I am taking level0 backup of my 11g database I am using 4 parallel channels with zlib compression. It takes 5 hours to backup.
Can I reduce this time anyway.

Regards,

You need to determine if it is reading the datafile that requires five hours or writing the backupsets. You can test this with commands such as BACKUP VALIDATE....

Are you backing up to disc or to a tape device? What sort? How many discs/tape drives?

Thanks,
I am taking backup on disk(SAN).
I do not know either (reading datafiles or writing backupset) takes time.

I don't know either. The difference between us is that you can find out.

Total backup time 5 hours.
Reading the datafiles takes 5 hours
OR
writing the backup to the backupsets.
How can I test it using BACKUP VALIDATE. Or any command

One way to see where time is be spent is to do as below

ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE=TRUE;

You can then inspect the content of the resultant trace file to see where time is being spent

This is irrelevant to your question about BACKUP VALIDATE syntax and example.
what does the doc say about this?

And what does BACKUP VALIDATE do and not do?
