You did notice the database not open message at the top and the fact there were no archive logs backed up.

This implies it performed a cold backup. Without archive logs you cannot do a point in time recovery.

You're right ! Used to call both commands everyday, so I didn't pay attention...

No need for the 'RECOVER...' line.
