We imaged production Oracle Server ( OS and Oracle and everything) to a backup server. I guess my question shall be how do we access the local instance via this backup server. When we log on to this backup server, we ran sqlplus and connected to the instance but it ended up to connect to production instance. Shall we stopped local Oracle services and change init.ora, tnsname, or listener files in order not conflict with production instance? Thank you.

Again,
You need to provide more details.
>> we ran sqlplus and connected to the instance but it ended up to connect to production instance
Post what you did. Copy and paste the session. Explaining what you did helps us nothing.
To answer your question,
it depends on how you invoked sql*plus.
# someTnsentry is identified in your tnsnames.ora file.
# tnsnames.ora file will list different entries that would talk to # different databases.
# Listener.ora will name and list listeners "listening" at 
# thisServename, thisPort and this ORACLE_SID
sqlplus user/pass@someTnsentry

or

# this will connect to database identified by ORACLE_SID
export ORACLE_SID=someSid
sqlplus user/pass


You need to post how you invoke sql*plus, contents listener.ora and tnsnames.ora
