I have an application developed by third party using Oracle 10g database. Oracle 10g express edition (freely available) has been installed in the PC where the application is running.
Now I would like to take a backup of that database. I have goggled it but so many options come that I am unable to decide which one is suitable for my requirement.
After taking the backup, i should be able to restore the database in the new PC in case that PC crashes.
Am not too conversant with Oracle database. Kindly let me know if any more information is required to answer above query.

if your database is not transactional generate a full backup file to a simple dba.dmp
exp USERID = sys / passwordforsys FILE = FULL = Y GRANTS = Y dba.dmp ROWS = Y LOG = exportFull.log OBJECT_CONSISTENT = Y
and in case of loss of the database, you must recreate the database and import your database using the file dba.dmp
imp USERID = sys / passwordforsys FULL = Y CONSTRAINTS = Y FILE = dba.dmp IGNORE = Y GRANTS = Y ROWS = Y COMMIT = Y LOG = importFull.log
I think it is the simplest method

If there is an order where you have one or more schemas associated with a tablespace you can do this by creating the tablespace and importing their schemes.
imp system/passwd file=dba.dmp log=dba.log fromuser='SOURCE_SHEMA1' TOUSER='RECOVER_SHEMA1'
But the point here is to provide a simple solution to backup the database, where perhaps the database is so simple that only has a very small tablespace for applications.
but if a database with very large tablespaces definitely the exp / imp is not ideal, it is best separately recover tablespaces as you pointed "Export is NOT a database backup."

I mean you PHYSICALLY lose the tablespace, its datafiles.
In addition, with import you lose all the modifications since the last export.

Is this simpler than "backup database;" or click on a link?
