Oracle Press 1Z0-053 Exam Guide, Chapter 5: Recovering Using RMAN Backups
Restoring the Control File from the Autobackup
Restoring the control file from an autobackup is similar to the steps you use to restore an SPFILE
from an
autobackup.
RMAN> startup nomount;
RMAN> restore controlfile from autobackup;
RMAN> alter database mount;
RMAN> recover database;
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
Note that since there is no control file, you have to open the database with NOMOUNT and then
restore the control file. After you mount the database, you must recover the database, because the
backup control file contains information about an older version of the database. For the same

reason, you must open the database with RESETLOGS. RMAN restores the control file to all
locations specified by the initialization parameter CONTROL_FILES. If one or more of those
locations are still not available, you will have to edit the CONTROL_FILES parameter to specify
alternative locations or temporarily restore the control file to a different location:
RMAN> restore controlfile to ‘/u06/oradata/rest_cf.dbf’ from autobackup;
