I also have a 70 Gb production database and have to clone it to several test instances. I just delete all the test files, copy all the .dbf files over from a cold backup [or files & archives from a hot backup], and rebuild the controlfiles/log files. Takes about 2 hours.

I have to refresh a development database every day with the production DB. The size of the DB is 70GB and import last like 7 hours. Does anyone in the list has the steps to clone a database, not using import.

TIA Ramon E. Estevez
