Some Common issues with Backup.

If you are taking backup from no-archive log: then your database doesn't bring down due to some processes are running.

If you are taking hot backup then may be newly added data file missed in your backup script.

Disk space is major problem, we need to monitor backup disk space.
Network is another problem if we take backup on NAS.

For a cold backup :shutdown oracle first and then proceed the cold(offline) back up.
once you shutdown the oracle database insert the external tape/disk.pls ensure the tape/disk is in good condition.
once the back up is done you can check whether the backup is in tape/disk by firing the below command.
tar tvfz /devst0(zero).
it will take several minutes to read.warning do not remove the tape/disk while it is reading.......
