"Cold Backup" means to shutdown the Oracle database first and then backup the database files.

1. set oracle sid
export ORACLE_SID=AWCC

2. shutdown the database AWCC
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL>shutdown;

3. backup (copy the database files of AWCC to another location/medium)

4. start the database
SQL>startup;

To restore, just shutdown the database and copy back all the files to the database's data file directory and restart the database.
