The other thing that is important to note. 1. Cold Backups - Always take the complete database - including REDO and Control Files.

2. Online Backup - Take the Control Files -- but -- do not take the online redos. When recovering the information that was in the online redos is not valid. Do indeed switch logfiles as part of the online backup - and - insure that all archive files are saved.
  Note - if you take the online redos - and - actually restore them - you could corrupt your database.
 Please read the Oracle Backup and Recovery handbook for details on why this is bad.
