RE: Types of Backup
 
1. Hot, inconsistance and online backup are same
2. Cold, close consistance and offline backup are same

For 1. db must be archive mode, inconsistance mean the SCN are not same
For 2. db may be archive mode, consistance mean SCN are same (controlfile, datafile)

Logical backup through import/export utilities
Physical backup simply copy all file using OS command
