Step 7 & 8 has always generated difference of opinions :-).  And you are right, I 
forgot to mention step 9.  Archives are backed up to tape 4x day (10gb/day).  Thanks!

I would swap 7) and 8): "backup control file" then "alter system archive log
current".
You also didn't mention step 9: copy archived logs onto backup destination
media.

I know this has been mentioned on the list before, but for my sanity check,
will this Hot Backup Method work?

1) Alter system archive log current ; not really needed but can't hurt.
2) Check backup status.
3) Generate datafile listing to be used by step 5.
4) Alter tablespace <tablespace_name> begin backup ;
5) Some other process,script,legato,etc. will copy database file(s)
     to disk or to tape.
6) Alter tablespace <tablespace_name> end backup ;
7) Alter system archive log current ; really needed but before or after
backup controlfile?
8) Backup controlfile.
