when we issue
alter tablespace <tb_name> begin backup;
what extra information go in redo log, why archive is fast and if there
is shutdown abort why backup at that time is not useful........
Because in books it was mentioned that archive is fast because all
information of tablespace would go in redo log but even in simple way,
everything goes in redo log so what extra..........
According to the documentation, begin backup forces Oracle *for every
change* to write the complete block to redolog, instead of changed
bytes only.

If that's what the manual says, it's wrong.
'begin backup' forces a tablespace checkpoint.
After the checkpoint is complete, the first change
to a block after it has been loaded into the cache
(or the first change for any block already in the
cache) causes a complete block write of the current
version of the block, followed by the normal redo.
Subsequent changes __while the block stays in the
buffer__ do NOT cause a further block write.
