Levels of Logical backup:

1.Database
2.Tablespace, Transport tablespace
3.User/Schema
4.Object(table)
[oracle@ reddy ~]$ exp help=y
Note:To take Logical Backup Database must be open.
To export the entire database to a single file dba.dmp in the current
directory:
[oracle@ reddy ~]$ exp system/manager full=y
file=dba.dmp log=dba.log consistent=y
To import the full database exported in the example above
[oracle@ reddy ~]$ imp system/manager full=y file=dba.dmp
To Dump a single schema to disk (we use the Scott example schema here)
login to server which has an Oracle client:
[oracle@ reddy ~]$ exp system/manager file=scott.dmp owner=scott
