backup FGA_LOG$

Hi all,

I have NOT  been able to backup this table. It has 6.7 million records and before I purge, I need a backup. I tried the following methods:

1. CTAS does not work as it it has LONG datatype and same goes with insert

eg:  insert into backup_fga_log$ (select * from fga_log$);

insert into backup_fga_log$ (select * from fga_log$)
                                    *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00997: illegal use of LONG datatype

2. copy from sys/123@sctdev to sys/123@sctdev replace backup_fga_log$ using select * from sys.fga_log$;

Array fetch/bind size is 15. (arraysize is 15)
Will commit when done. (copycommit is 0)
