It should be "ALTER TABLESPACE TBLSPC1 END BACKUP" to end the backup
phase. Aside from that, you will need to do media recovery if the database
were shut down when any of the tablespaces are in "backup" mode. I do not
see any way around this.

The server may not have information on why the PC could not connect. Look
for a file called "SQLNET.LOG" on the PC that should have more
information.

For this question, I would suggest either contacting Oracle support (if
you have it), or posting
your question on the internet (comp.databases.oracle.misc). You can also post
it on the newsgroup via "www.dejanews.com".
