Request for information from V7.0 DBA Volume II on backup

Hello,

I read some information in the DBA Guide, Volume II for V7.0 a while back and now can't find our manual. Could someone with V7.0 docs confirm the following for online backup?

The ALTER DATABASE BEGIN BACKUP command does the following:

1. stalls new update requests
2. waits until all existing update transactions are done
3. prevents new update requests from updating the database files (they go to the redo log)
4. permits new update requests to continue

thanks,
