RAC, CFS and online backups

Group,

Running a RAC database (9.2) on an OCFS clustered system. Works surprisingly well.
Having a real file-system is very comfortable.

Question:
Can we revert to using "conventional" online backup instead of using RMAN to take care of backup ?

e.g. would this still allow me to take backups: SQL> alter tablespace data_m begin backup ;

nb: we do realize we need archive-logs from ALL instances to perform recovery!

Thanks for any feedback,

Regards,
