Slight correction.
re:

It is probably easier for you to do it this way, but you also *could* use datafile renaming. That still works, so if someone finds themselves with only the "binary" controlfile on hand they are still not painted into a corner. It's a little trickier, since you have to have the database at the right point in a warm start and get the syntax right instead of just knowing your favorite text editor. As usual I recommend belts AND suspendors. Backup to trace and backup controlfile, and stash them both on tapesets.

Thanks everybody,
After I have backed up all the tablespaces I issue an ' alter database backup controlfile to trace'
I then recreate the controlfile using the SQL.
I have to do it this way as the database name and file structure names change slightly.
Mike the idea that it might already be in backup mode could be a good one. We do get alarms if our tablespace our left in Backup mode but this now seems the only logical explanation.

Updates/Writes to the file during the O/S copy process, possibly, makes = the copied file inconsistent.

Why OS copy of control file won't work?

Guang,
Under normal circumstances yes, but the control file has to be a "alter
database backup controlfile . . .", not a OS copy.

I am trying to understand:
Is it true that if the copy of control file (just an OS copy) is done = AFTER issuing
ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT; then no earlier (than the log switch) archive log is needed? We still = need the archive logs generated during tablespace backup process.
