Point one is good, but you can not run a complete, valid hot backup if
the database is not running or fully running to begin with so that may
be an advantage rather than a problem. If the database is down then
dbms_job will not fire the backup but cron does not care. Very few hot
backup shells actually contain adequate error checking to make sure the
backup is running at each step.
