Oracle already provides backup software, it's called RMAN. If you really want to do this, your best bet might be to create a VB.NET app that allows the user to pick RMAN options from a GUI interface, then generates the RMAN script that will actually do the work.

In the old days (pre-RMAN) Oracle provided an executable called ocopy that could copy database files. It's still available (at least on my 11.1 database), so I suppose you could build an app around that, but IMHO that way madness lies.
