Hi!

I switched from cold nightly backups to online backups with RMAN.

I took one last cold backup, then I do a full db backup using RMAN every day.
Is there a need to catalog all the files from the final cold backup in the recovery catalog?

After that I want to back up the archived logs.

How can I have RMAN go into the archive_log_dest directory and back up all archived logs that it can find there?
I have a job that periodically deletes archived logs fromt that directory.

This is 8.1.6 on Windows 2000
