Given your circumstances, I see no benefit to archive log mode. As Dennis
recommended, just back it up once a year and save the tapes. No point in
archivelog mode or more frequent backups.

Subject: RE: Archive Mode On for Read Only DB
Dennis - The database is opened in read only mode. The database changes once a
yr to be updated w/ new images. At that time, I put the db in read write mode,
add the images, then open db in read only and back it up while db is open. It
is a web query db that I would like to minimize down time. Is there any
benefit to putting this db in archive log mode? I don't see any, but I may be
missing something :).
Thanks for your help,
Gene

Gene - By read only, do you mean the contents of the database are never
changing? Do you ever take it out of read only mode, like to change
something? Why back it up occasionally? Just do a cold backup once and save
the tapes.

Subject: Archive Mode On for Read Only DB
I have an 8i read only database that is used for query of images.
Occassionally, I back it up using OS utilities (cp, tar, TSM, etc) while the
db is open.
Question: Is there any benefit to having this db in archive log mode? Since
it is in read only mode, I see no benefit or am I missing something?
Thanks for any insight you may provide,
Gene
