RMAN will back up any archivelogs it expects to see. If you want to delete
archivelogs after you've backed them up, do it with RMAN.
Add something like this to your backup script:
delete noprompt archivelog all backed up <N> times;
Thanks,
T. J.

Subject: rman - backup plus archivelog
Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 on AIX 5.3
I am backing up a database with rman in nocatalog mode.
When I tried to test my backups using the rman DUPLICATE command I got a
message that the backup contained no archivelogs. The information on Metalink
suggested using the command BACKUP DATABASE PLUS ARCHIVELOG. When I ran that
rman asked for
all of the archivelogs created since the database was created (luckily only a
week and a half ago). This despite the fact that that I had been backing it up
daily without the PLUS ARCHIVELOG option.
Now that rman has backed up the archivelogs, what will determine which ones it
asks for the next time I run it?
Ideally all that I need to restore a backup is the archivelogs which were
created during and after the backup.
Thanks,
Peter Schauss
