Hi All,

        You do not need to archive the log files.

	Alter system switch logfile does not return until 
	the logfile is written to disk. For recovery purposes
	the location of the logfile does not matter as long 
	as it has been written.
	
	Archiving and hot backups are totally seperate processes.

Alter system switch logfile

For each tablespace

	start backup mode
	backup datafiles
	end backup mode

Alter system switch logfile

No archiving necessary, let the archiver do it's job so you don't have to.
