Hi,

I need to create a copy of a 30GB instance on an unix server so that I have two identical instance running for testing purpose. Is there any fast way to do it beside the slow export/import? I thought about copy all datafiles and rename it but I don't think I can change the db_name to make the instance unique right?

Thanks.
