Stephen, This won't work across different OS's... at least I don't think it will work across different OS's. It's been a long day, going to be longer still and I'll have to be at work tomorrow before 6AM so my brain may not be firing on all cylinders at the moment. This works perfectly when you are copying from one server to another with the same OS however. :) Rachel Oh and they are repeating the finale of Angel tonight at 8PM EDT if that will help -- you can tape it and catch the last line --- Stephen.Lee@xxxxxxxx wrote: > > -----Original Message---- > > Your ideas/comments are appreciated. > > alter tablespace xyz begin backup; > > copy the files. > > alter tablespace xyz end backup; > > Rinse and repeat as needed. > > alter system archive log current; > > copy the logs and control files. > > recover and open the database on HPUX. > > There might a detail or two I left out because I haven't done it in a > while, > and I forget things.
