You could try piping it through ssh, I don't know how that would effect the speed though.

tar -cf - /u02/databases/mydb/data_file-1.dbf | pigz | ssh user@destination "pigz -d | tar xf - -C /"

Yeah, but it will need executing commands on both hosts. SSH works on top of SCP and only needs running sshd on the remote host and access to that machine.

All those solutions ( from the OP ) are faster, but you will need some setup, before you could use it from one host remotely and in the end you might end up using good old SMB or NFS which will give you speed ( http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/s... )
