I'm probably not understanding your purpose but couldn't you just do a point-in-time restore from rman to get to the before-upgrade image?

Niall, thanks for your response.The only time I would possibly want the
offline would be to create a before-image serverbackup, prior to a major
application upgrade, to be used to restore the server to before-upgrade
image if something went wrong. Otherwise, the online rman backups are run
daily.
Thanks,
Don

Just curious really about why you might wish to have an offline backup at all. It's probably also worth noting that if you use the snapshot controlfile feature of RMAN then, starting with 11.2.0.2 that needs to be on genuinely shared storage (tape obviously counts, but most people probably use disk for this purpose)
