Hi,

I am using Veritas Backup Exec For Windows Server V 9.0 and am trying to restore a previously backed up database. All the Tablespaces, redo logs and archive logs are restored fine. however the 3 control files that were backed up were restored as one file "BECF<SID>.BAK". Now according to the veritas manual once i have the .BAK file I am suppose to refer to the "Restore Section - Loss on Non Mirrored Control Files" in the oracle Administrators guide. However the Oracle Administrators guide has no such section. it has a few things on recovery which is using RMAN. however i dont know how to convert this .bak file that i have into a .CTL file. also when i did a backup of the database there were 3 control files and when i restore it there is only 1 which is called becf<sid>.bak. what is the procedure i need to follow to get this control file in place so that i can recreate this database. Any and all help will be hight appreciated.

thanx in advance.
