that's not quite what I said.
I said Oracle will not support hot backups done without putting the tablespace into "backup mode" unless that hot backup is done with RMAN. at least that's what I thought I was saying.
you can still do the good old-fashioned "alter tablespace begin
backup"/backup the datafiles/"alter tablespace end backup" sort of
hot
backup
or you can use RMAN and not have to do the begin/end backup
