Also, if you want to go back in time you need the old controlfiles to do a
point-in-time recovery.

Subject: Re: Backup also ?
When doing a "HOT" backup you backup the datafiles, switch arch logs, backup
the archivelogs, backup controlfile to a filename and backup the named
controlfile. That way you get the SCN's accociated with the controlfile and
datafiles on the tape. If you did not backup the controlfile and "lost" your
controlfiles on the system the backup would be difficult to restore.
Any one else want to jump in?

Dear lister,
We are using Oracle v8.0.5 and Windows NT 4.0. The database is 24x7.
In the Oracle documentation (Backu & Recovery Guide) it is said that 'we
should
backup controlfile after making a structural modification'.
1. We are using hot backup and only backup all the datafile. The question:
is it
necessary to backup also controlfile each time we do hot backup ? And init
file
and parameter file ? If I see the documentation, and paper, only dafafiles
is
'backup'-ed when doing hot backup.
Thank you for the answer.
Regards,
Slamet Fusianto
