Cold backups involve shutting down the database and taking a snapshot of all the data files, which is useful for a complete recovery in case of a catastrophic failure, but they are not specifically designed to recover from partial errors such as a single disk failure or the loss of a single table. For these scenarios, other strategies like point-in-time recovery or tablespace recovery are more appropriate.
