Hi Chris

Another option you could investigate is Oracle’s gDBClone script, which 
automates the management of dev and test environments using ACFS snapshots:

Obviously, this would mean storing your clone master DB on an ACFS filesystem.

I haven’t used this script, nor have I used ACFS for DB files, so I can’t speak 
to how well the solution works.

Thanks

Austin
