I have seen it used.  Successfully too.

I'm not terribly "keen" on it, but it should be perfectly safe so long as
both databases are offline.  In theory, it should be okay too if the source
database is online, as long as all tablespaces are in backup mode, and you
follow up with media recovery (apply archive logs) after you are done.
While I can think of no reason that the latter would not work, it does make
me nervous for some reason...

Can it be used for Datafiles.  I am 99.9% confident that it cannot.
