Help! I want to shrink my MaxDB 7.6 backup

Help! I want to shrink my MaxDB 7.6 backup

Hello MaxDB users,

For a test environment I backup a MaxDB 7.6 database to a filesystem. I
use a Backup Medium of:
Backup Type: Complete Data
Device Type: File
Backup Tool: None
Device/File: <filesystem/name>

The volume of the test database is now around 50 GB and growing. It
takes quite long to FTP or copy this backup file to an other place for
security reasons. So I had an idea to make the backup to a pipe and then
tar or zip the backup file before it is written to the filesystem.

Is this possible and how can I configure this?

Please advise.

Kind regards,
Mike Laanen
