I have Oracle 10g installed on Windows in C:\oracle. If I stop all Oracle services, is it safe to backup by just copying the entire directory (e.g., to C:\oracle_bak), or am I significantly better off using expdp?

Pointers to docs/websites very welcome, I wasn't able to Google up anything relevant.
