Moving  DB to  another server can be same version & platform or different Moving  DB to  another server should be same version & platform
1. RMAN in transporting tablespaces cross platform & different version
2. Data pump/export/Import – Cross or same platform & different version
3. By using Database link CTAS – create table as select -Cross or same platform & different version
4. By using SQL developer tool Cross or same platform & different version
