Consider your retention policy and perhaps needing to recover prior to your
last backup.

Subject: Question about RMAN Datafile + Archivelog Backups
What are the risks of NOT including archivelogs as part of the RMAN routine
backups?
I have been tasked with reducing our backup sizes and was asked if we had to
include archivelogs in our backups.
I realized that I didn’t have a real good answer to this. My gut says to
backup everything, but I cannot think of an exceptional reason to include
archivelogs in my backup sets. When you have to restore you only need the
archivelogs since the last backup, right? Or am I forgetting something
important here?
