The target is Window server 2003 with 10.2.0.2.0 oracle and the Auxiliary is Windows XP with 10.2.0.1.0 oracle.
Can I user rman duplicate database to duplicate database from target to auxiliary ?

You can restore, not duplicate.

Look into rman cross platform features.

Hi Keekee,
I am not sure what exactly is your required.
But may be you can do one thing. Restore the database to another server as Blackswan suggested.
And then rename the databse using NID to your required database name or duplicate by RMAN duplicate feature.

Regards
Lalit
