Reducing downtime using incremental backups and X-Platform TTS | Redgate

Martin Bach explains how implementing a cross-platform incremental backup in conjunction with cross-platform transportable tablespaces makes this possible. Many sites are looking for ways to move their databases from big-endian platforms such as HP-UX, AIX or Solaris/SPARC to an Exadata system running Linux. A little known MOS note describes how you can potentially reduce downtime by a significant amount when migrating databases between systems with different endianness.

Contents starts at 6:02 minutes. So you may skip the intros.

so we run the perl script to export the metadata from source db and that creates export datapump script. does it create the database link to the target db and do we run this script on the source system to do the import?

This is a very impact and helpful video.Thanks a ton...

Why is this not appropriate for migrating to non-Exadata systems?
