The current scenario is fine for a complete recovery as long as you put the tablespaces in backup mode and archive all of the current redo log files before you start the backup, you will have all of the database changes and SCN's in the archived log files. This is true whether you use a binary controlfile or a controlfile backup to trace.

Subject: Clarification on conventional backup
Listers,
I am on a new assigment where they are still using user managed recovery in 9i. Before I move to RMAN, I was looking at the scripts to see things are OK as is. The way it is set up now, it backs up the datafiles, arch logs after doing the switch and then the control file to trace. I thought the control file would have to be backed up in binary mode to perform a complete recovery. Would we not lose SCN information if control files are backed up to trace? With control file trace backup, I think that the database has to be opened with 'reset logs' losing any latest changes to the database.
Can you please confirm. Thanks.
