The way we dod it is have a script that copies this to a nfs mount . we run it with have rman move so basically it checks if the file is already there if it is it doesnt copy if not it copies it over. this makes us have archivelogs in non rman format since we have encountered issues in the past with getting rman formatted logs form tape.
