It's very easy to smoke the database if you don't do follow the steps for using dbms_backup_restore.zerodbid(0) exactly. -----Original Message----- Ryan Take a look at this checklist for additional ideas. http://www.orafaq.com/howto/clone-db.txt -----Original Message----- I do development so please bare with the stupid question. To copy an instance I do the following right? 1. Shut down the instance 2. Copy all data files to the new locations 3. Change the DB_NAME, dump directories, and redo log paths in the init.ora file 4. startup nomount. Rename the redo logs 5. Create control file 6. Open database. I think Im missing some steps. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com ---------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to: oracle-l-request@freelists.org put 'unsubscribe' in the subject line. -- Archives are at http://www.freelists.org/archives/oracle-l/ FAQ is at http://www.freelists.org/help/fom-serve/cache/1.html -----------------------------------------------------------------
