If I am reading the post correctly I believe that you need to tell
Oracle to perform a recovery using a backup control file.

All,

We're testing User-Managed Backups of the Whole Database. Oracle
recomends to make backups of all datafiles as well as all control files
but not online redo log files.

During our testing we backed up all the datafiles and control files and
restored those files after couple of startup/shutdowns. While starting
up the database with backup files oracle signals error 'ora-00338'.
ORA-00338: log 1 of thread 1 is more recent than controlfile.
Even recover database doesn't help us.

Is there anything we missed out or do we need to take online redologs as
well in our consistent whole backup ?

Thanks
