What OS? Did the DB crash? If this is Linux, I understand that there is
something a way to do it if the files were
locked... I dont know the details, something with the inodes as I recall, but I
could be completely wrong about
that.... If not, I would run a create controlfile script rather than restoring
from backup.

I just did one of the stupidest things in my life and overwrote our

I have a backup of the real control files from yesterday afternoon, but
we've
been up and running all day. Is there an easy way to recover my control
files
and be back running any time soon?
