Re: archive logs

Just another question regarding archive logs

If I do a full backup of the database each night, after shutting it down first. Do I need to keep backups of the archive logs before yesterdays?

If a disaster were to happen during the day, surely the only archive logs needed would be from today?

Am I correct in my assumtion or am I missing something?
