take a look at the dbexport and dbimport commands

you can do dbexport and tar the whole unload, ftp it over to another machine, untar it and to a dbimport

Cheers

Hi,

Server 1

dbexport <dbname> -ss

Zip/Tar the file and copy it to other server & untar it.

Server 2

dbimport <dbname> -d <dbspace> -l <buffered>

where d is the dbspace name
and l is the buffered log mode
