Backup a production database and restore to a development/test database

in need of creating a full backup of our production database daily and restoring to a TEST database.

12c on a server 2012 r2 environment

in our current 11g environment  someone created a batch file to; (at least that what it looks like to me)

1 stop database "PROD"

2 "cold back up" data base

3 start database "PROD"

4 on 2nd server ; copy previous days backup file to a different folder,  delete backup from current folder

5 copy backup  PROD to a folder on 2nd server

6 stop database "TEST"

7 restore backed up database PROD to "TEST" instance

8 start "TEST"

TEST is now available to test users who export data with custom "Access" database programs to create reports without touching the production "PROD" database
