Backed up the example database from padstow2 because /u00 had 7Gb free:
rman target / catalog rman@rmancat
backup format '/u00/backup/%U' database archivelog all;
BACKUP CURRENT CONTROLFILE FOR STANDBY format '/u00/backup/%U';
exit
sqlplus / as sysdba
create pfile='/u00/backup/initEXAMPLE1.ora' from spfile;
exit
Used sftp to copy the files to botany2. Will continue tomorrow as I am proceeding very cautiously with this.
