Paula,
If you are really worried about this, then take the simplest approach
possible.
If you know that you normally generate 10 archivelog files a day, then
simply back them up to tape, say, every 3 hours. Or 2 hours. Pick a
time frame that you are comfortable with.
At one place I worked at, we ran a job every 15 minutes that looked at
the archivelog directory. If, say, 5 files were there, we would back
them up and remove them.
With either approach, you can at least tell management that you are
doing *something* about it.

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

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. =3D3D20
Anyone doing this and their thoughts on gotchas/caveats/best practices?
Thanks,
Paula
