RE: Schema Backup Q

Yes, specify where your copy of EXP.EXE is on your machine. Go to View > Options

Executables Find the entry for Export Click on the flashlight button. If you
have the full Oracle client installed on your machine (not the Instant Client),
you should be good to go! Before Bert speaks up, EXP has been deprecated in
newer versions of Oracle and you’ll want to check out DataPump, but it
writes to the DB server, not the client. It is much faster however and will give
you actual compression (if you’re willing to pay for it). Jeff From:

And just a word of warning… If your Oracle Client is newer than your Server,
then you may have problems even running the expdp and/or impdp. Don’t
upgrade your client too fast! “For it is by sad experience that we have
