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
