I
guess I'm lazy (or cautious) in that I would allow the first backup to take this
archive log files back to tape where they belong, rather than determine (by
running reports) which log files I may delete (by hand).

The
cautious part of me says that if Rman decided to back these monkeys up within
the first save set after the recovery, it may have decided that it needs them
for a future recovery. If you did remove them by hand, Rman may complain
that it was expecting them and did not find them. Did you try this -
remove one that was restored by the recovery process and then tried a
backup?

or a point in time - the archivelog may be of no use anyway (a point in time
makes them invalid because you had to perform an "open db reset logs", while a
full restore could still use these again).

Glad
you are at least experimenting with the tool before you put it in production -
it actually is fun to do a restore as it happens so
infrequently!

Good
Luck!

rman restore & arclogs
Good morning all -
I've been practicing rman restores. It's a lot
easier than I originally thought. I've noticed that when you restore and
the arclogs are needed, it restores them. Which is expected.
However, when I take another backup, these arclogs are included in the backup
set. This is unnecessary in my opinion and makes my backup files larger
than they need to be.
Is it standard practice to just delete the arclogs that
were already in a backup set prior to taking the immediate backup after a
recovery? I can verify what arclogs are where in the backup sets with a
report.
Any comments are appreciated. Thanks
