Re: Copy database to another server

create a named pipe on each system.
connect the named pipes with shell commands ( dd <inpipe | rsh targsystem dd >outpipe or something like that )
export to the pipe on the source machine import from the pipe on the target machine

It wastes no disk space at all, but it'll use a significant amount of net bandwidth. 8)
