As Ryan says, "a database export isn't considered a backup". But if you use 
RAC, most of the time a data pump job leaves a few lines in alert.log related 
to adding and, at the end, deleting a service named like 
'SYS$SYS.KUPC$C_1_20130822161301*'. This may be captured in 
dba_hist_service_name. It's not reliable and doesn't work on single node 
databases. Finding SQLs in dba_hist_sql* and v$active_session_history for SQL 
text like '%sys.kup%' may be more reliable.
