Your desires are prudent and admirable.
Your knowledge level is woefully inadequate.
Answers to all your questions can be found at
http://tahiti.oracle.com
but the sun will likely go dark before you achieve your goal on your own.
IMO, if the data within the database is really worth something to you,
then you hire somebody who can do more than just spell Oracle to build
you a decent recovery site.
Also if the data within ORC1 is changing, you'll need a way to get
the changed data into the new DB & keep the new DB reasonably current.
I, for one, am not about to try to spoon feed you answers;
which will likely be endless.
Also V8.0.5 was obsolete last century & you might want to consider
upgrading.
