AreLOBs also backed up if I take a dump of all partitions of the table individually?
I am taking export of a large table in oracle through datapump. I am taking the export of all the partitions one by one. The table has a LOB column as well. Are LOBs also backed up with partitions? Because partitions seem to be very small as compared to LOBs
Yes, they should be. Unless, you have configured data pumps to exclude them somehow. Please share the command (and parameter file) that you use to make the data pump export. Reasons why the dump file is smaller could be that you have large areLOB indexes (which are not included, and should not be), or you are using compression.
