Oracle on Linux backups |

I had earlier asked the question about using the TSM TDP for Oracle on a
Linux box but never got a response. From the silence and other messages
related to this topic, I can only surmize that this won't/doesn't work and
I shouldn't waste my time/money in purchasing the TDP.
So, since I can't change the platform, I need to know how anyone else in
this situation/configuration backs up their Oracle systems on Linux ? Or
are most folks waiting for TSM 5.x and the supposed forthcoming TDP that
will work on Linux and are keeping Oracle on supported/backup-able OS'es ?
Note, I am not a DB person. I don't know the first thing about Oracle. I
have seen some discussions about an RMAN program/utility, but I only know
the name.
The objective is to do live (i.e. not shutting down the application)
backups of the Oracle DB and be able to restore it on a backup/test
machine.
We do a nightly backup but all attempts to restore from these backups to
another box, have produced useless files. Oracle is very unhappy !!
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
