exp will fail if it encounters block corruption. RMAN, which is conducting a proper physical backup, will deal with block corruption. Depending on the size of the table, and the number of transactions, Tablespace Point in Time Recovery, a feature of RMAN, might be quicker, and cost less resources (especially the hours you will need to extract all SQL from redo log files using log miner, and it also might be incomplete).
In 10g flashback query will allow you to undo user error.
