What reads the redo?  I don't think you have to read the redo during
hot backup mode.  You read the datafiles or buffer cache just like
when you're not in backup mode.

Why?  I can think of no reason that ORA-1555 should be more likely
during hot backup mode.  Can you explain this?

Do you mean 'alter database datafile <n> end backup?'  This can and
should just be integrated into the database start scripts.
