RE: backup up archivelogs

My one concern is this - I know that I can setup optional archive
destinations this way which means to me if there is a problem with the
destination - everything still works.  I don't have my primary database
hang waiting to write out online redo logs.  However, what if the
optional destination is available but I/O is slower?  Will that slow
anything down?

Thanks,
Paula

Paula,
 That is a valid concern if you loose the archive log destination. How
about setting up another destination on a different server or nfs
mounted point.=20

We have redo members mirrored on multiple file systems.  We write the
redos to an archive log.  We backup the database in full along with
archivelogs each night.

The problem is that if the entire box goes down or we loose the RAID for
archives we would only be able to restore/recover to the previous night.

I am considering backing up archivelogs to tape immediately as they are
filled up. =3D20

Anyone doing this and their thoughts on gotchas/caveats/best practices?

Thanks,
Paula
