Depending on your database requirements and availability, you can also shut down the database and backup the flat files ( not an export ) using the backup client. We do this if we want to move a database to another server relatively quickly . This method only works if your Oracle is using flat file and not logical volumes.

You'd have to be careful though. You would want to do your dump using an integrity check so that if any transaction are running while dumping, you are not missing any parts. +---------------------------------------------------------------------- |This was sent by [email protected] via Backup Central. |Forward SPAM to [email protected]. +----------------------------------------------------------------------
