Transferring data between Oracle systems.

Hi,

I've had a request from a client, where they wish to provide us with either a backup or an export from their database, which then becomes our "opportunity"
to find a way to restore.

I need some advice on how to go about this, what the pitfalls are if any, places to look to research this etc..

In particular what problems are there with:

   Transfer between different operating systems    Transfer between different versions of Oracle (ie. enterprise/developer etc.)

   Importing an exported database
   Restoring a backup from a different machine.

Any help/pointers in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
