Dear Developer,
you are right, oracle XE does not support parallel backups but I do not understand, why that is a problem for SPP.
By default the XE databases did not gets bigger than 12GB and single backup stream should be enough for that I would guess…
Parallel backup is a RMAN feature and SPP did not use the RMAN features so far as I know. And RMAN was able to detect that parallel channels are not possible and repeated with only one channel… If SPP is using RMAN features it should not be a big problem to include that possibility.
On the other hand I think we are not the only customers, who wants to safe money for those "really small" databases and decided for Oracle XE… Please explain to us, why this is such a big problem for SPP.
Kind regards,
Gerhard Sippel
Oracle Database Express Edition does not support the parallel backup feature and so will not work.
