Depending on how many archivelogs your database writes in a week, that
could be a lot of logs to apply. Consider if you have the space to store
them, or time to restore them to disk, and the time to apply all the logs
vs. doing incremental backups and applying fewer logs. Just something to
consider.

So we were having a discussion about rman incremental backups. And the
question came up that if I do an rman full once a week and then rman back
up of the archive logs the rest of the week, that’s all I need to do a
point in time restore. I don’t have to do incremental backups. Is this an
accurate assumption?
