I've read this in the probkup documentation and wondering what you guys think.
"When restoring a backup, the target database must contain the same physical structure as the backup version. For example, it must have the same number of storage areas, records, blocks, and blocksize."
I'm assuming the extents are storage areas, so how could I consolidate these tiny files into a couple or large files when I do the restore?
I'd love to hire a consultant to help with this project, however we are a non-profit in a really bad financial year and can't afford it.
