How does Rman fit into this picture?  Are you saying he should run a
Physical Stand-by system just to fix a backup issue?  It's not a
horrible idea.  But I'm wondering what the cost-benefit-ratio would be.
Acquiring a completely new server and stocking it with enough disk to
hold the database and the archivelog files?

 

Doesn't sound like a reasonable financial solution to me.

Here's a, perhaps, wild, thought.  Could you establish Physical Standby
databases on (an)other server(s)?  Then you could let your Prod datbases
automatically shovel the archived redo logs to them, periodically remove
them from the Prod environment as you see they've been transferred to
the Standbys.  You could also gzip them on the Standby side to further
save space.  Gzip is such a CPU hog that I'd not want it running on the
Prod server. 

You'd also get disaster recovery databases in the process.  Just a
thought.
