Goal

You are doing a restore from a cold backup using a backup
controlfile. On every file you receive the following message:

WARNING! Recovering data file <fno> from a fuzzy file.
If not the current file it might be an online backup taken without
entering the begin backup command.

This message does not make sense as this is a cold backup.
