As Turkbear wrote: The Oracle documentation tells us that you can only physically backup/restore on the same OS because the file structure depends on the OS. For every other transfer (like AIX->XP) you'll have to do a logical backup using export, create a new empty database on the XP system and import into it. RMAN won't help you here.

I haven't done that but my guess is that you'd have to restore to 8 and then migrate to 10.
