Having just been working with it rman duplicate seems a good bet. It seems very efficient and you don't have to worry about sizing issues as it just builds it as it sees it
If you have any questions I might be able to help I have seen one problem and that was with it not doing a proper recovery and you need your original db in archivelog mode. I seem to have a problem in the controlfile, it put in a screwy path for the directory where the logs are. I think I need new controlfiles in the original dbs but haven't been able to work this out. alternatively I have a script here that came from one of the sites around and it explains how to do it by doing an OS copy of the datafiles. This entails a lot of downtime in the original unless you can say split the mirror or something the rman method does it with a hot backup so there is no downtime on the first system HTH -- ================================================= Peter McLarty E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Technical Consultant WWW: http://www.mincom.com APAC Technical Services Phone: +61 (0)7 3303 3461 Brisbane, Australia Mobile: +61 (0)402 094 238 Facsimile: +61 (0)7 3303 3048 ================================================= A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. - Walter Bagehot (1826-1877 British Economist) ================================================= Mincom "The People, The Experience, The Vision" ================================================= This transmission is for the intended addressee only and is confidential information.
