All backupers If doing a "off-line backup" some call it a "cold backup" you should backup All datafiles, All control files, All Redolog files and All Parameter files this vil produce a self-contained package that will be able ti start assuming no media recovery is needed. I know that Rman vill not backup redolog file the reason for rman not doing this is that Rman knows if it is safe to omit the redolog files (The database has to bee in mount mode for Rman to backup's )
