I'm sorry I'm a newbie and this database instance is not installed by me. Parallel expdp is not used, so thanks, I will try it. About next point, yes, many tables save clob/blobs data. Could I use parallel expdp too for improving it? I'm not sure how to see current undo retention, I'm sorry. I can see that it has 2 undo tablespaces with 4 datafiles each tablespace and each datafile can grow until 4GB maximum. Thanks beforehand.
