Oracle on Linux backups

> I had earlier asked the question about using the TSM TDP for Oracle on a

> 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.
