well if you are lucky and all the files are there, yes, backup the physical
datafiles and when you bring the database up again, Oracle will recover.
You MAY have to open the database resetlogs.
Questions though:
is the database still up? Can you shut it down cleanly (shutdown) and then
do a cold backup of all the files? You are golden then.
if the database is NOT up, do you run the database in archivelog or
nonarchivelog mode. This will determine what you have to do to
restart/recover the database.
But no matter what take a backup of ALL the physical files on your system.
This gives you a place to go back to if you do something incorrectly. Always
good to have somewhere to go to start over.
