Although it seems as if you don't need the archived files, (archived
redo logs), you should always back these up because if the immediate
backup of the datafiles is somehow corrupt, and you have to restore
from an earlier backup, you will need these in order to properly
recover your database. Without them, you can only do a partial
database recovery and may only be able to open the database with
missing data.
