Re: RMAN problem: RMAN-20242

I consider a 20242 error as an acceptable one, here is why:

If i ask rman to backup archivelogs that are more than 2days old and there are none, thats not an error. That is when i see it the most, now most companies will force a log switch after a set amount of time during the day so in DR, you dont lose days worth of redo that might still be hanging in a redo log if it gets lost.
