Arun,
 We use Veritas Netbackup to backup the database. IT LIES when is says that it is backing it up without a lock. Work with your vendor to get it straightened out if you can.
The Oracle agent will effectivly perform the "hot" backups and work with netbackup to copy the datafiles that are in the hot backup mode.  We perform cold backups each night but if the backup has not completed on the database server when it is restarted AND netbackup performs a backup of a datafile that the database wants to use the netbackup has it locked and the database will take it offline. Datafile recovery is then needed to get the database working again. There should have been an Oralce Agent purchased for the server to allow the hot backup the function. Read the manual and setup procedures completely. We could'nt get it to work on a hybrid NT, Novell network. Ron

I know they had installed it for the Unix servers when I was there.
