You have to tell it that you are using a backup control file.
Otherwise it will think the database is up-to-date.

I have a "what if" question.
Say you had a complete cold backup, including control files from a few days
ago.
You also had all the archive logs for the past few days.
Today you lost your server and had to recover.
You lay down all the database files, including the control files.
Now you want to apply your archive logs.
Oracle can't know about the archive logs because all the files you restored
are old.
Do you just tell Oracle where the archive logs are and it keeps aplying them
until
you say you are finished?
Just wondering.
