Even if you could, that's probably a bucketload of archivelogs to push
through in the event of a crisis, all the time a manager will be at your
desk going "Are we done yet?", "Are we done yet?", "Are we done yet?" :-)
I'd be taking that post-upgrade backup....

We are running Oracle EBS on 11.2.0.4. We will be upgrading the database

My question is, do we need to backup the entire database following the 19C
upgrade and conversion to PDB or in the event of post upgrade failure
(upgrade is done and turned over to the users when something happens hours
later), could we restore the RMAN backup from before the upgrade and roll
the archive logs forward through the upgrade and PDB conversion to a
particular log sequence number?
