    we are having 2 databasees running in WindowsN/T.They are going to replace the machine with a new one.So I would like to know what all files needed to be backed up so that later I can use for the same database creation in the new machine.Presently I need to backup files from machine A to Machine B & later from Machine B to new machine.So do send the step by step approach to back up whatall files from Machine A to Machineb.I am running oracle 8.1.5 & it is a test database.As of such no archiving & it's not a 24X7.Thanks in advance for all the suggestions
    Thanks

    If you use same directory on both machines and same release of Oracle, take backup of control files, redo log files, data files, init.ora , config,ora and then copy them into new machine.

    If the Oracle release is different, do export and import or Migration utility.

    Talking cold backup


    Basically if you do a cold backup and then insert all those files into the proper directories in the new server, you should be all set.

    Otherwise you can also jsut do a full Export like Tamil said.
