RE: backup up archivelogs

My one concern is this - I know that I can setup optional archive destinations this way which means to me if there is a problem with the destination - everything still works. I don't have my primary database hang waiting to write out online redo logs. However, what if the optional destination is available but I/O is slower? Will that slow anything down?

Thanks,
Paula

Paula,
 That is a valid concern if you loose the archive log destination. How about setting up another destination on a different server or nfs mounted point.=20

We have redo members mirrored on multiple file systems. We write the redos to an archive log. We backup the database in full along with archivelogs each night.

The problem is that if the entire box goes down or we loose the RAID for archives we would only be able to restore/recover to the previous night.

I am considering backing up archivelogs to tape immediately as they are filled up. =3D20

Anyone doing this and their thoughts on gotchas/caveats/best practices?

Thanks,
Paula
