What files for cold backup using tar on Linux besides control/redto/data files?

 Hi,

I have no access to any backup devices like a tape drive.  I need to do a cold backup on my baseline database.  I am thinking of using tar command and save the backup on disk.  Besides the control/redo log/data files, what other Oracle database related files should be included in the cold backup?  Also, can I compress the tar files for saving disk space?

Thanks,

Simon
