With these sizes, I usually only export the schema structures using rows=n and tables are transferred over dblinks in direct mode (there is no direct mode import possibility until 10g, and even then it's done using data pump, Oracle's new exp/imp toolset)
Also I build indexes only after import, in nologging and parallel mode.

Subject: Re: IMP using the same DMP file

On the subject of export/import, has anyone exported a 1 TB db and imported it into another db?  The largest I have done is 300gb w/out problems.

You can import the same file into two instances simultaneously, because
"imp" doesn't lock the import file, unless the import file was produced
by simultaneous export into the same file from two different instances,
in which case you have something what is scientifically known as
"monster mess" and is really appropriate for the Halloween time.
