Cold yes. Backup mode, maybe. Cold is easy. Stop Oracle, backup everything, start Oracle. Works every time. Backup mode. Put the DB in backup mode, backup everything. Take the DB out of backup mode and backup the archive logs. Works most of the time. Beware that the DB may be updated during the backup so depending on the TSM settings it may start over or get a bad copy. YMWV. I do not recommend it but is does mostly work.
