RE: reset control, redo, logs etc

That is correct! I should NOT have said 'COLD' back up because that could be an ORACLE term. I just backed-up the files using the OS and I'm really not interested in current data.

Can I bypass these control files? I know I can drop redo logs.

He didn't try to restore from the backup, he just backed up the database when it was open. unless I misunderstood everything.

Very possible,
Ruth
