That's a nice use of video, though it doesn't deal with the OP's situation. RMAN Duplicate relies on a sqlnet connection to the source. Now you can of course take backups with rman and do an old fashioned manual clone, but I must admit I'm at a loss as to why you would not wish to use RMAN DUPLICATE here.
