Please, please, please go through the docs. A complete recovery from a hot backup will use the archived redo log files and the online redo log files as well. A complete recovery from a cold backup does not, however, you have lost information since the cold backup was taken. All of this is spelled out in the docs.

Why would you want to copy the online redo logs with the database open? I'm going to reiterate my plea..."Please, please, please go through the docs." There should not be any need to copy the online redo logs of an open database. Additionally, there is no mechanism to ensure your copy is read consistent or can be made read consistent. Some would even go so far as to say that you don't need to copy the online redo logs for a cold backup either. Please read the docs so that you can gain a better understanding of these concepts.
