Re: Best way to move data beween servers

Hi!

AFAIK, the rman dbf-to-raw and raw-to-dbf commands don't do anything else than copy the datafile from or to the raw device, with taking the OS header in the beginning of raw device into account. Thus, the contents of Oracle datafile remain 100% same. (You can achieve the same result using iseek option of dd in unix).
