if you not affordable to a down time , may be hot backups will help you out.
1. Copy the Hot backups to a different machine where you want to have a duplicate database.
2. Edit the Init.Ora and control file .
3. run the control file and recover the database.

Hi!

We want to put an exact copy of our production database (approx. 200 GB) onto a development box. What would be the best way to achieve this? Export/import would take kinda long... ;)

Would transportable tablespaces be the way to go?

This is 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris.

Thanks,
Helmut
