1. Map the drive of the mapping where you want to put the backup of the db on the backup server.

2. For every tablespace :
-- alter tablespace ... begin backup
-- for every datafile off the tablespace
---- OCOPY <datafile> <destination drive >
-- alter tablespace ... end backup

3. copy all the archived log files to the backup server.

Done

Sorry, some text was lot in previous post.

OCOPY :
use this command to copy a database file to the backup destination on the backup server. This command will allow to copy an open file.

eg. ocopy d:\oracle\db\ORCL\data01ORCL.dbf o:\backup\db\ORCL
