after I done this I copied the whole Oracle root folder to external hard drive
I formatted the old server ...and I figure out that my configuration for controlfile autobackup is off
which means the I only have database backup after I done this command backup database plus archivelog
...I'm searching many online tutorial but I don't know which one is suitable for me I'm really confused...I'm using windows.
