Question
Is there a way to restore an Oracle 11g instance from raw data files only? What is the minimum amount of information needed to reconstruct the config files?
Solution
Assuming you've shutdown the database cleanly (ie not a SHUTDOWN ABORT), you need to backup...
The Datafiles:
select name from v$datafile
The Database Control Files:
select name from v$controlfile
The Online Redo Logs:
select member from v$logfile
You'll also want to backup your init.ora or spfile
