Outside of some of the TDP Agents, yes, there is only one active copy of a
file.  The Oracle TDP agent stores all data as active, so the Export
command would show all data for that node.  For Agent backups, I usually
guesstimate the restore time as 150% of the time for a full backup.  It's
always high, but it's nice to come in ahead of schedule on a DR, instead of
being behind.  Until you run the test, and get actual restore times, it's
all a guess anyway.
