Should off-line backups (RMAN or otherwise) be a part of a standard backup strategy? In the "old" days, cold backups were recommended for consistency - or at least that's how I understood it. Now, it seems that these are not deemed essential. What is the recommended best practice for off-line/on-line backups?  

Related to this: Should the DB be "bounced" occasionally? In my last oracle class, this was implied, although not stated. Any thoughts  

Thanks
