Ramon, There is a paper on my site (http://www.optimaldba.com/library/CreatingOracledbusingphysicalcopy.html) that outlines the procedures to perform this cloning. The document uses 7.3, but the procedures remain the same.
I would also recommend using this time to periodically test your production backups by using the backup files to recover to the development database. This can find problems in your backup/recovery process before a production recovery fails. You don't have to do it each time, but once a month would be a good target. Just my $.02 --- "Ramon E.
