Backup of database using rawdevices

I am trying to configure a backupscript for my Oracle 8.0.4 database running on HP-UX.
The scripts I will be using are those in the book "Oracle8 Backup & Recovery Handbook" by Oracle Press.
My questions are:
Can I backup my database (which is using rawdevices) to an ordinary filesystem (i.e. one not using raw devices)? Will the use of raw devices affect a backup to tape? My intention is to perform a backup to a shared network drive. Will that be possible?
