In my online backup scripts I don't do a logfile switch or force a checkpoint before copying the datafiles.

Is this recommended by Oracle?

I'm wondering if I overlooked something when writing my scripts, I have used my online backups on occasion to create a clone db, so I know they "work" the way I'm doing it now, but I guess it can't hurt to build in a logfile switch and/or force a checkpoint as part of the script as well.

Curious to hear what others do regarding this....
