If the NT admins are backing up up your data files, there is a high probability that your files are getting locked by that. You must tell the admins not to backup any file system ... er "folder" ... that contains files used by the Oracle instance. In other words, your problem might have nothing to do with your backup stuff, but somebody else's backup stuff.  

You must understand that NT is still a single-user operating system. It doesn't understand the concept of having multiple users doing their own thing, in their own slice of turf, on the box. If it wants to lock a file, it will do so assuming that, since it wants to use the file, nobody else needs to use it.  

Which is why we moved all of our Oracle databases off NT.  

NT = Neanderthal Technology
