Oracle has Hot/Cold Backups... You should be able to backup the DB with users in it. It's when you restore that the users cannot be logged in.

I have a job setup to do a complete backup at night and backup the transaction logs every hour during the day. All the backups goto a separate partition on my SQL server. This way the NetAdmin can backup the backup files to tape whenever he wants to without affecting db access in anyway.

I'm not sure I really answered your question but I hope that helps
