Oracle Database Discussions

Hello DBA's ,

I have Last Sunday's Full BCV (Buisness Copy Volume) backup (i.e. ..... the tablespaces were taken into Backup mode then Sync the BCV, then split the BCV , take the backup of BCV and take the tabespaces in normal mode in short what we call as HOT BACKUP ........ ) & also I am taking only archive log & control file backup Daily.

Now I want to Run my database on Different Server using the above FULL BCV & daily backed up Archive logs & Control file.

Kindly update me- Can I go for following recovery steps for above scenario.
1) Install ORACLE software on new server.
2) Restore the last Sunday's FULL BCV (Hot backup)
3) Restore the archive log from last Sunday's Full BCV backup.
4) Restore the latest backed up control file.
5) Mount the database.
6) Recover the database using backed up control file & archive logs.
7) Open the database with RESETLOGS option.

Please Guide me whether I can Fully Recover/Start database on this new server using above steps. ---OR---- " Are there any more files except data files that need to be backed up daily after Full BCV ? " ---OR ---- More suggestions are Welcome.

I want to test this scenario bcz.
a) I can't afford daily BCV due to lack of storage with current retention given by buisness.
b) I can't afford long time taken by RMAN for backup & recovery, as it disturbs my other backup shedules, also RTO should be very low as per my buisness requirement.
c) Currently we are not thinking for any another Backup options.
