A cold backup requires that a database be completely shut down.When a database is shut down,no activity can take place,and thus no changes can be made to the database.This allows for a consistent snapshot of the database to be copied for which all database files are copied at a state at a specific time.

Restoration can utilize entries in both redo log files and archive log files to complete a recovery.
