Hello Todd and Abdellah, Thanks for your response. We use RMAN catalog
database and following are the RMAN configuration parameters for database
this database:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO RECOVERY WINDOW OF 3000 DAYS;
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON;
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO 'SBT_TAPE';
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON;

CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' TO 1;
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1;
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE 'SBT_TAPE' TO 1;

Please send me the exact commands on how to catalog these 13 archivelogs
and then back these up.

Hey there,
Are these the oldest archivelogs? If so what
is CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME set to, please? The suggestion below
assumes archivelogs are older than the keep time. If they are not, send
more details. Happy to help.
RMAN only manage archivelogs that are listed in the controlfile. Details
about archivelogs are retained in the controlfile upto the
CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME (default is 7 days). If archivelogs are
older than CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME then 'catalog start' will not
appear to add older archivelogs because they will automatically age out.
If these archivelogs are older and they have not been backed up yet then
consider:
1. Increasing the CONTROL_FILE_RECORD_KEEP_TIME using 'alter system
set control_file_record_keep_time=[*Number of Days*] scope=spfile;'
2. Using rman to backup the archivelogs
Best regards,
Todd

Hi,
You have to catalog them in your controlfile or rman catalog (with
catalog start with command) then backup them and delete them using RMAN...

Hello, One of my Oracle 11.2.0.3 databases is behaving unusually. There
are 13 archivelogs files sitting at archivelog directory on the
database server. I have verified using the following command that these 13
archive logs are not backed up. But when I run the archivelog backup or
full backup including archivelog it doesn't backup these 13 archivelogs. It
backs up other archivelogs though.
RMAN> LIST BACKUP OF ARCHIVELOG FROM TIME 'sysdate-40';
I am not able to run "CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;" and getting the error
RMAN> CROSSCHECK ARCHIVELOG ALL;
specification does not match any archived log in the repository
Any idea how to backup these 13 archivelogs? I can delete these
archivelogs and move on but I was looking for a way to back these up.
Thanks,
Ashoke
