Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: efficient way to duplicate db on another unix host?
Assuming a reasonable network pipe between the 2 machines, a redirected backup (hot or cold) would be faster. Here the datafiles are written directly to the target system instead of local disk or tape.
In Dan's example the recovery & resetlogs would not be necessary (unless you're also changing the SID). And if the mount points are identical, no renaming files.

Perform a cold backup, copy all the files to the new host, startup mount, rename the files, recover db, open resetlogs. This can also be done with a hot backup and the archived redo logs. The advantage of this method is that you are testing your backup method.
I have some instructions (a little old, but still usable) on my website at

Hi Oracle gurus:
What is, in your opinion, the fastest way to duplicate a database on a another unix host?
Thanks,
