Logical Backup using export utility works as an alternative backup method.
we can export from one user and import into another within the same database.
we can export from one database and import into another database(but both source and destination databases should be are ORACLE databases)
when migrating from one platform to another like from windows to sun solaris then export is the only method to transfer the data.
selective exports or imports are possible,like

1.from one user to another user
2.from one database to another database
3.from one o/s to another o/s as export files are platform independent
4.from one version to another version.
