hi,

In Oracle  we can take the backup of our database in two mode cold backup or hot backup.

When we want to take the hot backup of database when user is accessing the data, we can put the tablespace in backup mode.

RE: Why do you take tablespaces in backup mode.
We need to put the tablespaces in backup mode during hot backup so that writing to datafiles related to this tablespace would stop and be written in the archive logs instead during the period of the backup.

If you will not put the tablespaces in backup mode and copy directly while the database is up your backup would be not restorable.
