A full export of 3TB?
Using a full export of a large database via export is usually
reserved for moving between unlike platforms, and requires
multiple parallel exports.

Doing so in a simple manner is probably not feasible due
to time constraints. (ie. export/import is slow)

Moving datafiles is probably better, it's a much simpler process.
Moving via RMAN files to disk may be better yet, though 
it may be somewhat more complex.

You mention minimal DBA support. Doing something like this
with minimal support will require a rather robust set of scripts
or application.

Doing so without DBA support doesn't seem feasible.
