RE: Restore question

You should be able to do a complete recovery, as the database was shutdown
(cleanly I assume) before the failure, just restore the missing files from
the backup, apply the archive logs, and open the database.

Is it possible to restore from a hot backup that was taken prior to a
database being shutdown.  We had an RMAN hot backup running in archivelog
mode.  The database was shutdown and them some files are lost before it was
restarted  Isn't it possible to just point to the oldest controlfile that
was taken during the last hot backup and restore from that?
