    - Use the ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE statement to back up your control files. You have two options:

    - Back up the control file to a binary file (duplicate of existing control file) using the following statement:

    ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO '/oracle/backup/control.bkp';

    - Produce SQL statements that can later be used to re-create your control file:

    ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;

    - This command writes a SQL script to the database trace file where it can be captured and edited to reproduce the control file.
