Prepare a development machine with the same version of Oracle installed. Be sure that the listener.ora points to the development box and not production.
Take a cold or hot backup of your database.
If you don' t have the same file structure as on your production box you'll need to backup your controlfile to trace and modify it
Copy the backup to the development box 5a. If a cold backup startup the database 5b. If a hot back then copy the necessary archive logfiles from production 6b. If a hot backup then mount it and recover database until cancel using backup controlfile; The "until cancel" is necessary. 6c. alter database open resetlogs.

I have to refresh a development database every day with the production DB. The size of the DB is 70GB and import last like 7 hours. Does anyone in the list has the steps to clone a database, not using import.

TIA Ramon E. Estevez
