You should probably already know that a database export is not really a backup. It's a logical backup at best,
but could give you data that is not in a consistent state. You really want a physical backup, that will backup
your database, control files and archive log files. I happen to have one from back when.
I used this script to backup Oracle 8.1.7 databases, back when I supported Oracle 8.1.7. You might find this
useful as long as you keep 8.1.7 around. It might also work on any 7.3.4 databases that you might have. ;-)
I make no warranties about usefulness or whether or not the code is safe to run.
