Subject:   Log switches between tablespace backups?

Log switches before and after the backups I can understand, but I cannot think of any good reason for a log switch between each pair of tablespaces. Can anyone else on the Ixora Answers list think of a reason?

I'm trying to figure out how to set the best configuration in my online backup scripts. In order to do that, I've read a lot of books and one of them says that it's a good practice to perform a log switch between each

alter tablespace XXX BEGIN BACKUP
alter tablespace XXX END BACKUP
LOG SWITCH
alter tablespace XXX BEGIN BACKUP
alter tablespace XXX END BACKUP
...
So, my question is: Is it true? Could you explain why? (I couldn't find any reason to folow that procedure.)
