Imran, install OS with same Directory structure i mean to say same mount point. take full offline backup of ur old system & mount that backup directory with new system and restore it by brtools.

U may restore it by archive backup also by point in time recovery option as well

Thanks

Hi Imran,

Take an offline backup using DB13 or BRTOOLS. Restore the files in the target location. but before that make sure that the file systems are similar in both the systems.

After restoration of the data files and the control files recover the database.

Eseast way to make new system is take full OS backup after completeion of backup restore this backup onnew system by rcp. once it will finish new system will be ready to use.

Presu, this will not work. drivers are different between the 2 servers.

have you thought about systemcopy [] ?

Hi Imran,

In you have a full backup, using this existing backup further you can take incremental backups. The incremental backup is based on the previous full backup. The full and incremental backups is controlled by RMAN (Recovery manager).

You can take a full backup and restore the same in your new server and later take an incremental backup from your old server and restore it to the new server for all the delta changes made. By this you can make sure that your production data is made consistent in the new server.

If you have sufficient dowtime then, you can take a whole DB backup with redo log files and restore them in your new server.

There is no difference between whole backup and full backup, with respect to the database data.

Hello,

You need to go for offline backup before you shutdown the system being migrated.
