Export oracle tablespace with Data Pump

We can also export tablespace[s] with the help of TABLESPACES parameter in data pump utility.

In this, we can backup only the tables contains in specified set of tablespaces. Table will be backup with the dependent objects.
Note: In this mode both object metadata and data is backup.

Syntax:
TABLESPACES = tablespace_1, tablespace_2, [,..]

 

Consider following hands-on exporting user tablespace from orcl database:

[oracle@oracle ~]$ expdp system/manager directory=data_pump_bkup dumpfile=user_tbs.dmp logfile=user_tbs.log tablespaces=users
