New to Oracle.

When do hot backup (or cold backup), is this a good way that backup entire database to a single file? (Using 'tar cvf', then 'tar rvf'). If yes, what about a big database, such as 100G? For a single file with 100GB, it's no good?

If we have to backup big database to several file, then what's the backup file style? Tablespace one by one? or simply datafile one by one?

Thanks a lot! More detail is helpful.
