Database Software

This is what I used for a backup of database. I do not have controlfile autobackup set, I back it up using rman commands. Backup is made to a third party media manager.

I tried to restore and it cannot startup mount the database, it can only nomount the database. I am assumming this is because it cannot find the control file.

Is it possible to recover the controlfile if autobackup not on ? I did make a backup current controlfile with the rman script below .. Is it possible to get back the database at all ..
