Re: db backup on tape and archive log backup on disk

Yes, you can have the archive logs backups got to a different area.

I don't really understand your requirements and why they'd go to difference places when you can do an backup archivelog as compressed and delete input on a regular basis to tape to clear up space issues.

If you do an mv then you need to make sure you catalog the moved files.  Just makes things harder and a lot more error prone.

Also, what are your nfs mount point settings?
