ORA-19602: cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG mode

DB has to be in archivelog mode for online and transactionlog backups

Hi Jeroen,
Thanks for the response.
I tried following steps before attempting even then backup failed:
SQL> SHUTDOWN

Could you suggest a sequence of steps which need to be followed before performing backup? Also what is the significance of of RMAN-03009 error here?
