Hi,
i'm in process of exporting two tables and store in my unix box (For backup purpose).
But whenever i try to export , i get an error saying "no space in unix box".

Now i need to find out how much is the actual space needed for the backup of the two tables (Meg byte,G byte etc..)

How to find out the same ?

Thanks
Raj!!!!!!!

in unix,
create a pipe.
'dd' read the pipe.
start exporting to the pipe.
depending on the blocksize you have set, you will see the display like,
Export terminated successfully without warnings.
5+0 records in , 5+0 records out etc,
intrepret it as 
the exported file size will be = your_block_size *   5
