Super easy ? for you gurus

Our database is actually a datawarehouse 300+ gig. We are not running 
in archivelog mode. 


My question: Why does the database need to be shutdown in order to
perform a backup? Isn't it a read only process as far as the DB is 
concerned? 


Most of the data is historic and therefore static. Users are not able
to add, insert or delete. 


Any answer is greatly appreciated.
