I suggest you to take advantage of archive log mode. Then you don't have to take your db down during backup and database can be restored to momentum when crash occurred. Maybe you would like to read docs about Oracle Recovery Manager (rman80) -- it supports scripting and gives you choice to take incremental block level backups.
