GOAL:
Is it possible to get a combined backup/restore procedure without physical backup-file on Unix?
FIX:
Yes, it is under certain circumstances:
a) small db (smaller than available memory)
b) tested on AIX
if you use:
mknod pipe p probkup online $gplive pipe & prorest test pipe
You can probkup online to the pipe, and prorest from it: it's like redirecting the output of probkup to the input of prorest. This way, no space is used for the backup-file, this operation is done in memory!
