1，查看已经备份的控制文件
RMAN> list backup of controlfile;
specification does not match any backup in the repository
2，启动控制文件自动备份
RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup on;
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN>
3，查看是否修改成功
RMAN> show CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP;
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name POWERDES are:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;
RMAN>
4，修改控制文件的备份文件的存放位置，这里注意一下其中的“%F”不可或缺，如果已经有了旧的存放路径，这里则会显示旧的路径。
configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/data2/backup/data/controlfiles/%F';
RMAN> configure controlfile autobackup format for device type disk to '/data2/backup/data/controlfiles/%F';
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
old RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/backupdisk/backup/data/controlfiles/%F';
new RMAN configuration parameters:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/data2/backup/data/controlfiles/%F';
new RMAN configuration parameters are successfully stored
RMAN>
5，查看控制文件路径是否修改成功
执行命令：show controlfile autobackup format;
RMAN> show controlfile autobackup format;
RMAN configuration parameters for database with db_unique_name POWERDES are:
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '/data2/backup/data/controlfiles/%F';
RMAN>
只要执行backup database;命令，都会自动备份控制文件到新的目录/data2/backup/data/controlfiles/下面。
6，也可以自己手动执行备份控制文件backup current controlfile，默认备份到闪回目录下，然后也会再次备份到新目录，也就是备份了2回，如下所示：
RMAN> backup current controlfile;
Starting backup at 21-MAR-17
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=100 device type=DISK
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting full datafile backup set
channel ORA_DISK_1: specifying datafile(s) in backup set
including current control file in backup set

RMAN> list backup of controlfile;

8，在rman中还可以使用copy命令，将控制文件复制到你熟悉的目录，比如copy到/home/oracle根目录下面
执行命令：copy current controlfile to '/home/oracle/rman_controlfile_20179321.ctl';
RMAN> copy current controlfile to '/home/oracle/rman_controlfile_20179321.ctl';
Starting backup at 21-MAR-17
using channel ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile copy
copying current control file
