managing REDO-LOG correctly

Ingersheim, 16.06.97

Dear Oracle Experts,

We are supporting Oracle 7.1 running on a NT 3.51 PC in archive log mode. This means, that a lot of archive log files are written. We have a cold backup each day using the Oracle Backup Manager. But the backup is done by not so well skilled persons. How can we manage the redo log files? When can we delete them best and how? Is there a chance to delete them immediate after finishing the backup successful. How can we control whether the backup has been completed correct.
Do you have any idea?

Thanks for any support.
