RE: Archived logs maintanance

Unless three months later auditors want to see data that was deleted prior to the cold backup. Not that *I've* ever run across that situation... Also, why would you run regular cold backups if you're in archive log mode?

After a good cold backup, your old archived logs are useless. It would be better to store the files from cold back up, rather than old archived logs on DVD. Becuase if the system dies, you still have a good cold back up, rather than the useless old archived logs.

Hi All,

Previous DBA did not set up any archived logs maintanance here si I am in the process of developing a process that will store old archived logs on DVD. We're on 9.2.0.5 on Win2K. Here is what I am thinking: after each cold backup, do alter system archive log current to archive the latest redo, zip all old logs and copy them to DVD, then delete them from disk. Can someone share a script or info on this?

Thanks
