RMAN archivelog backup failed

I've scheduled RMAN in nocatalog mode to backup a database and associated archived redo logs nightly. Unfortunately the backup of archived redo logs occasionally fails, complaining a corrupt block was encountered whilst backing up a particular archived redo log.

I could manually intervene by reseting the log sequence, however with approximately 1 Gig of logs archived each day the problem seems to be encountered a little too frequently, perhaps once or twice a week.

I'm wondering if there are any RMAN command line options available to automatically ignore such an error. Obviously if the particular log were required for recovery purposes there'd be a problem but that would be unlikely and in the meantime no subsequent archived redo logs are being saved to tape.

Any advice would be much appreciated. Received on Thu Jun 19 2003 - 07:07:01 CDT
