I looked this up. there were 2 notes that came up whne i searched on this. 1 was about a Windows Dr. Watson, the other just generaly said that you should use the older exp executable when going from an older version to a newr one.

Neither of these really apply.

Heres the Scenario. Production DB V7.3.4.5 on HP-UX. Export runs once a day (yes we do hot backuops alos). While it's runing it usese about 30% of the CPU. We need to offload this CPU usage. We have a nice new Linux machine with _lot's_ of disk space. I have installed 9i on this machine for this purpos. I supose I could install V8, if that would help. But V7 is not avaialble of Linux.

Help!
