Ahmed,
Export & Import are meant for backup & restoration of Logical data structures and not the Physical onses.
So , let me know what do want,do you want to back up datafiles?
If yes then fire quer of V$datafiles ,V$contrlfiles & V$lofiles to check what are the files use by your DB & what is there location.
Shut down your DB & simply copy them.
If you want logical backup & restore then make use of
EXP & IMP utilities.
As suggested by Frant, go through the documentation,try your hands & then let us know if you face any problems.
Regards
Himanshu

You can either use the IMPORT/EXPORT utility or write the following command on command prompt
c:\exp userid=x full=y log=c:\temp\error.log file=c:\z.dmp
where x is the name of the Database user
z is the export file name
use imp instead of exp for import.
