I've done it a couple of ways - 1st way was using oracle export and then backing up the files using TSM - had problems with the size of the export file, and backup and recovery were slow and a multi-step process. Required constant monitoring during the recovery process.
I have a system now where I'm using the 3rd array copy to remove and mount a copy of my data base file systems and backing that up - this is quick on both the backup and recovery and I've used this method to move copies of the production database to testing and so far, like the way it works.

If so, how has it worked for you? Pros and cons? David
