Hi there

First of all Oracle never recommends or supports Export dump as a backup strategy you have to use RMAN for that purpose.

As far as the efficiency is concerned the Expdp has been proved better than conventional Exp and Imp. Also Data pump is the only utility that Oracle promised to support in their future releases.
