Hello All,
We are in process to setup a new system in our landscape. Which option is better to prefer?
Backup / restore or Export / import
If we prefer Export / Import do we need downtime? As our DB size is 300GB how much time is estimated approximatly for export. The environment is windows with Oracle.
Please suggest

Anand
Hi Anadh,
I would go for a backup restore as export/Import of production system(I assume) will require a downtime.
But yes I agree with Juan if you are going for QA system then export/import is a better approach only if downtime can be taken
but if it is a test system,go for backup/restore

setup a new system
Depending on what are you going to use the system for... if its a QA system might want to have a fresh system and transport the data instead... same for a LIV system... if its a testing environment, I'll go for a DB copy or a Homogeneous system copy.

Hello,
Thanks again for your replies
Its ABAP only system. My concern is if i prefer the oracle backup / restore method will the schema owner will get changed to the target <SID>. When i did a backup / restore in R/3 4.7 system I was not able to change the schema. But this will be in ECC 6 system. Should i have to consider anything in particular for this methos? I mean the schema or notes in source & target system?
I presumed that DB Export / import will be easy to complete the entire process. Also this could minimize the administrative activities. Any second thoughts on this?
Please suggest

Anand
To Anandh : read the System copy guide :
Make sure that you shut down all SAP Application Servers before the export. The database must still
be running. Otherwise, the target system might be inconsistent.
To Rohit : i do not know how it supports from sap, may be some one comment's this.
Regards.
