Step 7 & 8 has always generated difference of opinions :-). And you are right, I forgot to mention step 9. Archives are backed up to tape 4x day (10gb/day). Thanks!

You also didn't mention step 9: copy archived logs onto backup destination media.

I know this has been mentioned on the list before, but for my sanity check, will this Hot Backup Method work?

1. Alter system archive log current ; not really needed but can't hurt.
2. Check backup status.
3. Generate datafile listing to be used by step 5.
4. Alter tablespace <tablespace_name> begin backup ;
5. Some other process,script,legato,etc. will copy database file(s) to disk or to tape.
6. Alter tablespace <tablespace_name> end backup ;
7. Alter system archive log current ; really needed but before or after backup controlfile?
8. Backup controlfile.
