almost yes. BUT cannot perfectly called as cloned database.
1. RMAN has some beautiful implimentations to do cloning.
backup the source db ( regular backups)
identify resources to hold the cloned db.
use rman to create the cloned db (all the files,
including controlfile,logfiles,datafiles,
and logical tablespaces , users, tables
etc are auotmatically re-created by the RMAN).
2. else you
can do create a cloned database using cold backups.
