RE: Online Redo Log During a Hot Backup

the 2-3 hours is a tape backup of a 80GB database. My confusion was that,
Oracle will ONLY archive checkpointed online redo logs and since
"checkpointing" online redo logs is suspended when a database is in backup
mode then filled online redos are not archived!
1. So how the does oracle apply changes made during the hot backup when the
redo logs have been archived? 
2. What is the recommended procedure of taking the database in backup up
mode, I mean put all tablespaces in backup mode at once or one tablespace at
a time?

Thank you Gurus for all the explanations

Regards
