Yes, that might work. We don’t use RMAN now because it doesn’t work nice with
our current backup system. That’s why we aren’t using it for the refresh.

If you're refreshing a significant part of sizeable databases you might find it
more efficient to automate RMAN duplicate across the wire.

We have dived into the world of Data Guard and have it working nicely.
Periodically, we get requests to refresh a test database from production to get
“up-to-date” data in test. If both production and test are Data Guarded, what
is the best way to do the refresh? We would like to not to have to rebuild the
test secondary database if at all possible. We don’t use RMAN for backups. We
are looking at using Data Pump between production and test and letting Data
Guard update the secondary from there.
Is there a better way, without purchasing a tool?
We are using Oracle 11.2.0.3 on Red Hat Linux.
