List - I am wrapping up my RMAN procedures so I can turn off conventional
backups and still sleep at night. I am on Oracle 8.1.6. Does anyone know the
answer to this question: If I do an RMAN backup to disk, then copy the RMAN
backup pieces to tape, and copy the archive logs to tape, do I need to
execute an ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG ALL before I copy the archive logs to
tape? This has been necessary for hot backups, but I can't recall this being
mentioned specifically for RMAN. I want to be able to recover the database
from the contents of the backup tape alone, and I noticed during my disaster
recovery tests that you definitely needed to have required archive logs
available.
