RMAN clone

Is it possible to clone an archivelog mode database with RMAN   command  copy 
datafile # to ‘path/file.bak’;
 
Example:
 
Copy datafile 3 to ‘/db/backup/users01.dbf.bak’;
Copy current controlfile to ‘/db/backup/controfile.bak’;
Copy archivelog ‘/db/arch0/db_t1_s100_r100000.arc’ to /db/backup/ 
db_t1_s100_r100000.arc’;

 

Do I have to use different name in the copy command?
 
I want to use RMAN to make image copies of the datafiles, controlfiles, and 
archivelogs with the same name to a directory location.  
 
Then I want to move these files to a different server and recreate the database.
 
Is this possible and the best way? 

 

thanks.
