Speeding up the expdp job with PARALLEL and FILESIZE parameters

resistanceIsFruitfulAug 3 2012 — edited Aug 8 2012
Daily we are going to back up 6 schemas with a total size of 80 GB.
From oracle documentation I gather that PARALLEL servers work well when we split the dump file because each slave process can work with a separate file.
But I am not sure how many parallel processes should be spawned and the how many files this dump file has to be split?

The expdp command we are planning to use
expdp userid=\'/ as sysdba\' SCHEMAS = schema1,schema2,schema3,schema4,schema5,schema6  DUMPFILE=composite_schemas_expdp.dmp LOGFILE=composite_schemas_expdp.log  DIRECTORY=dpump_dir2 PARALLEL=3
