Oracle 8.1.7

Hi,

I use oraback to perform hot backups of my instance and until now i have not had any issues with it. Today i setup oraback on a new box and have one a few test runs with it. It seems to work fine apart from one odd thing. It is not picking up on the archive log destination and instead telling me there are no archive logs present.

Oracle is putting the archive logs in the correct location but oraback is not seeing them. Any thoughts why this might be as there are no config parameters to do with the archive log destination in the oraback config. It thinks the archive logs are in /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/dbs for some reason? When they are really in /u05/arch/instancename

thanks

Tom
