Archive files and their ManagementOur policy is to keep archive for the last 2 days at least. We are doing daily backup so it gives us the option to restore from the last backup or the one before without restoring archive logs.

Greetings Gurus

  Just wondering.......
  Our archive log's directory has grown substantially and space is becoming an issue.   How do you know which archive files is safe to delete?   In other words...
  Do you delete all archive files older than the last backup?   Should you keep all archive files until it is obviously pointless?

  Please advise.
  Many thanks
