IMHO it is safer to do a manual 'create control file'. Similarity is
always just up to a point and gives you a false sense of security. And
BTW if you lose all of your control files it is quite likely that you
lose other files as well, and it is not obvious at all that you can
restart your database, if this was the primarily aim of your question.
One of the reasons why, when you backup, it is better to backup
everything (init.ora included), even if 'normally' everything is not
required to restore. Just in case.
