Gee I don't suppose you'd like to share with the group how it is done. I'm guessing they must be splitting off the BCV in backup mode then mounting the BCV's instance on another node for a cold backup.

How else? RMAN by its nature reads all the data blocks. BCV is just a copy-on-write mechanism, right?
