RE: Off Topic: SQL-Backtrack

I haven't worked with the LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST parameter. I assume it is used to make duplicate copies of the archive logs. I looked through the SQL Backtrack 3.2.0 documentation but could not find anything about duplex archives.

Thanks Jared and Ron for your replies. To my dismay, SQL-Backtrack doesn't know about LOG_ARCHIVE_DUPLEX_DEST, therefore doesn't remove (or rename) any duplexed archive logs. Or did I miss something ???
