Mehul,
There is only one = way to make your database up..that is by recovering the files restored = from older copies to the timestamp of the file restored from latest = copy.Ofcourse this is possible only if you have all the arc files = intact from the timestamp at which you have oldest datafile to the = timestamp at which you have the latest datafile
