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.

There is certainly more redo created during a hot backup. Especially when the
rollback tablespace
has been placed in this mode and a lot of heavy DML is going on If all the
tablespaces are placed in backup mode then the chances of running out of space are
increased. I believe the original poster has confused redo and undo when he talks
about "reading." But placing a tablespace in backup mode does not increase undo.
If a job is processing the tablespaces serially then why would you place all of them
in backup mode simultaneously? If you're running backup in parallel why would you
place more than one tablespace in backup mode per stream?

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.
