Scott,
I did look at that. The problem is that "plus archivelog" in my
environment will give me a lot more logs than I need and I want to keep the
backup set as small as possible.
I am thinking that I will need to use either of "backup archivelog from
sequence" or "backup archivelog from time" to give me just the logs I need
for recovery.
Thanks,
Ken.

Have you looked into BACKUP … PLUS ARCHIVELOG (

).
Thanks,

Hi All,
We currently have a backup script that executes RMAN level 0 backups once
per week and level 1 backups every other day. The code is generated
dynamically via a shell script and is then executed. Here is a recent
example of a level 0 backup that was executed...
sql 'alter system checkpoint';
backup as compressed backupset incremental level 0
format
'/opt/oracle/backup/bioocld1/sets/2016-01-02_211929_lev0/2016-01-02_211929_lev0_%s_%p'
database;
alter system switch logfile;
alter database backup controlfile to
'/opt/oracle/backup/bioocld1/sets/2016-01-02_211929_lev0/2016-01-02_211929_ctl_bk';
Archive log backups are not currently included and are backed up via a
separate process however I want to change this slightly. I would like the
level 0 backup sets to also include the minimal set of archive logs needed
to recover the backup. The reason being is that sometimes we might need to
take a copy of a recent level 0 backup and archive it and we will want to
be able to restore and recover at some future time when the archive logs
are no longer on disk.
I guess I can query v$log to get the current archive log sequence before
the backup starts and use "backup archivelog from sequence nnn" after the
database backup but wondering if there is already some RMAN
functionality/syntax that I can use to achieve the same?
Thanks,
Ken.
