Did you use rman? Did you do a level 0 backup? We need more info to be able to help more.

The backup script contained the command:
alter database backup controlfile to '<destination_path/file>'
I tried to copy the controlfile from the <destination_path/file> to the original location, but still the database cannot mount (ORA-00205 (See ORA-00205.ora-code.com)).
Is document id 94114.1 correct or some more steps needed to be performed?
Thanks,
Alessandro
