J.,
If it is a hot backup you don't backup the online redo logs. While
the database is open the redo logs are constantly changing and you
will most likely get an inconsistent copy. Best practice is to not
copy the redo logs in order to reduce the possible confusion during a
recovery.
Who asked you to backup the redo logs during a hot backup?
