If you own your oracle install (like it's on your development machine or something like that), you can avoid the imp/exp headache by taking a cold backup of all your .dbf files and your control files.  (shut down the database cleanly - not shutdown abort!), copy the various .dbf and control files to another directory.  You don't need to copy the entire gigantic oracle install)  If you decide that Serious Damage was done by running a script, you can blow away all of the dorked files and replace them with your backups.
