Do you actually want a logical backup or to be able to check that your database is logically consistent?

If you are checking for logical consistency you can do this via RMAN with
RMAN> backup database validate check logical;

also, if you use export, beware that a direct path export will not report logical corruptions. So you can potentially re-import logical corruptions back into your database with an export using direct=y.
