Every night I run a task that exports my oracle database on a DMP file first and then saves every single file stored on the the server (SCO Openserver 5.0.4 + Oracle RDBMS 7.3.4) on a tape. I am wondering whether, after a system crash, restoring all the Oracle files (data files, control files, etc.) would be enough for having Oracle up and running again or have I to reinstall Oracle and then import all the DMP files?
If I'd shut down the database before to save the files something would change?

Sorry for my ingenuousness :)
Best regards, Cristian
