Re: EBU Online Backup with Compressed Archived Redo Logs

I suggest that you place your compressed archived log files in a separate directory but keep the same names as the orriginal. This lets you keep the LOG_ARCHIVE_FORMAT as is. Then you can specify archivelog = "compressed_log_directory_name" to cause EBU to look there for the archive log file.
