That may indeed work, but one may need substantial disk space in order to
support the raw datapump export in the meantime.

If a datapump export file is similarly sized to an equivalent exp dump, it
would mean that I would need to request an additional 100GB+ for the
overhead just to support a single 7.5GB compressed dump.  And we're a small
shop...
