Re: rman restore & arclogs

Lisa,

We backup all archivlogs with the backup set and delete them. Delete is an rman option when you backup archivelogs. We don't have room to keep them. It is a bit of a pain to restore them but you learn to live with it.

Have a look at rman's tables and views. You should be able to query them and get what you want.

Yours in rman,
Ruth
