You don't mention what O/S you are using.

Is RMAN an option for you?

What strategy you want to use on your backup ? If you can use the OS backup, then you need to copy all of your datafiles,redologs and controlfiles into backup drive.

You can run this to your sql.

connect system/manager
alter tablespace system begin backup;
alter tablespace undotbs begin backup;
alter tablespace drsys begin backup;
alter tablespace indx begin backup;
alter tablespace tools begin backup;
alter tablespace temp begin backup;
alter tablespace users begin backup;
alter tablespace oem_repository begin backup;

HOST C:\BUR\BACKUP_6PM.BAT

alter tablespace system end backup;
alter tablespace undotbs end backup;
alter tablespace drsys end backup;
alter tablespace indx end backup;
alter tablespace tools end backup;
alter tablespace temp end backup;
alter tablespace users end backup;
alter tablespace oem_repository end backup;

Note: Backup_6pm.bat

copy C:\ORACLE\ORA90\FBR\SYSTEM01.DBF e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORA90\FBR\UNDOTBS01.DBF e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORA90\FBR\DRSYS01.DBF e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORA90\FBR\INDX01.DBF e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORA90\FBR\TOOLS01.DBF e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORA90\FBR\TEMP01.DBF e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORA90\FBR\USERS01.DBF e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORA90\FBR\OEM_REPOSITORY.DBF e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\FBR\CONTROL01.CTL e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\FBR\CONTROL03.CTL e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\FBR\CONTROL02.CTL e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\FBR\REDO01.LOG e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\FBR\REDO02.LOG e:\backup_6pm
copy C:\ORACLE\ORADATA\FBR\REDO03.LOG e:\backup_6pm
copy c:\oracle\ora90\database\initorcl.ora e:\backup_6pm
copy c:\oracle\ora90\database\pwdorcl.ora e:\backup_6pm
copy c:\oracle\admin\fbr\init.ora e:\backup_6pm

You can set the Batch file in Window scheduler in control panel.

With all due respect, whatever you do, DO NOT use the process listed above to conduct a backup of your database. The process listed above is wrong on many levels, so please DO NOT even think about implementing that process for a backup routine.

First off, the OP asked for a cold backup script and the script above is a half-baked hot backup script.

Again, the important questions are:

What O/S is the OP using and is RMAN an option for the OP?

Please try this for cold backup.

connect system/manager
shutdown immediate;
HOST C:\BUR\BACKUP_6PM.BAT
startup mount;
alter database open;

OK, need a little bit of clarification. In your initial post you said:

but then you just mentioned:

its a 24*7 database

So, are you looking to do a cold backup (shutting Oracle down and then backing up) or a hot backup (Oracle remains up and then you backup)?

Here's a sample cold backup script to get ya going. If you are actually in ARCHIVELOG mode, then you'll want to modify the script to backup you archive logs.

This can be scheduled thru the Windows task scheduler.

Well it's quite evident that you did not review the script or are unaware of it's functionality. Your script is COMPLETELY static. Your script offers NOTHING for the OP if a new file is added to the database.

It will be too late if the OP isn't archiving or has removed the necessary archive logs and he's in a recovery scenario when he remembers, "OH YEAH, I forgot to modify my backup script to include the new datafile I added last week...how can I explain this to management ???"

ofcourse the DBA should know what datafile was been added, then he can add it to his backup scripts. SIMPLE.
