Hello,

Most safe is to take a backup while the database is shut down. You need:
- the database files (typically *.dbf)

  • the control file (*.ctl)
  • the redo log files (*.log or *.rdo) Typically these files are al in the oradata directory. But you can not sure of this. You may check the names in the Oracle Dictionary: select * from v$datafile or dba_data_files select * from v$logfile
