Question: Backing up online databases

Hi all,
We have a situation where we need to have oracle running 24 hours/7 days
a week and we need to obviously keep the thing backed up. I have been
pouring through all the books trying to figure out the strategy for this,
and there seems to be little mentioned about this scenario. Apparantly most
people don't need to do this.
Anyway, what is the best strategy for this?
If I understand correctly, you must backup your tablespaces one at a time
and then backup your control files. This can all be done while the database
is up and running. The redo logs CANNOT be backed up while the system is
running.
Basically, what I need to know is a good strategy to provide full recoverability
of an oracle database that never gets shutdown(or if it does, only once a
month or so for a few minutes).
