1. Does a hot backup (as described on

http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3049.html) present any restoration problems? Has anyone done a restore from a hot backup?

How about handling of the control files? In other hot-backup schemes I have seen, there are a lot of stuff on how and when to do the "ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE ... ..." command.

Also also some stuff on "ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH LOGFILE" or "ARCHIVE LOG NEXT"

None of these are mentioned in the above TechLibrary article.
