Hi all,

I am trying to speed up refreshes of QA databases and am familiar with cloning databases using user managed backups (hot and cold). The problem is the organization I am currently with uses RMAN to manage the backups. The perform a level 0 once a month, level 1 once a week, level 2 daily. How/could I use these backups to clone the database to another environment? One of the db's that needs to be refreshed is approx. 40gb and takes about 5 hours to import. The other db is 200+ gb and takes about 24 hours to import.

Any suggestions / strategies. Also, its a 24 x 7 environment.

TIA, Michele
