Re-instantiation of a primary database to a standby site or Data Guard site is a huge problem for VLDB (Very Large Database) sites, especially if the database is separated by thousands of miles. Prior to Database 12c, RMAN did not support native compression during active duplication, so generally, DBAs resorted to another method of restoring from backup, such as copying files over the network through a compressed pipe, or even shipping a tape. In Database 12c, RMAN supports datafile copies over the network with compression. This feature will ease database cloning efforts tremendously. Also, the Active Duplicate command supports network compression during the data transfer, enabling faster clones directly from the production database.
