Hot backup of closed pdb

Dude!Nov 19 2014 — edited Nov 20 2014

Hello,

Could someone please help me to clarify the following:

The above is from the 12c New Features University Student guide.

Isn't "alter database begin backup" called "user managment backup"?

"Hot backup" as far as I know means RMAN online backup and requires that the database is in archive log mode.

Also the instructer mentioned "If the pdb is closed, you take a hot backup, that pdb is not being backed up, because the files are not online. If the file is not open to the database, RMAN cannot do hot backup".

I just tested rman database backup in 12.1.0.1 with the CDB open and it included also all the pdb's, including the ones that were closed and in mounted state. So what is the correct story?

Thanks!
