Hmmm, your backup procedures need some redesign. This is Oracle 7i method. Oracle 7 is slightly out of date but there are still some instances operating. There is a product called "rman" which aleviates the need for such thing. On the other hand, you can do that if you're unwilling to pay for an expensive commercial backups, like Symantec NetBackup or EMC NetWorker. There are backup scripts which work with Bacula which use "alter tablespace begin/end backup" and if that is the case, I apologize for my comments.
