Backup & recovery of Oracle 10g database

[diptipanchal]

I have an application developed by third party using Oracle 10g database. Oracle 10g express edition (freely available) has been installed in the PC where the application is running. Now I would like to take a backup of that database. I have goggled it but so many options come that I am unable to decide which one is suitable for my requirement. After taking the backup, i should be able to restore the database in the new PC in case that PC crashes. Am not too conversant with Oracle database. Kindly let me know if any more information is required to answer above query.

Investigate using the EXPORT operation from Oracle as your backup. You will then be able to use the IMPORT operation to completely or partialy restore the database. I've been using and dependant upon these for years with Oracle on Windows servers. :)
