How long should the archive log file be kept?

We are running Oracle8i in archive mode. After each tablespace is backed up
with steps:



   alter tablespace begin backup


   .. copy the datafiles to tapes ...


   alter tablespace end backup



Can we discard the older archive log files which were created before the
backup?



Usually, how long should the archive log file be kept after a full hot backup?



Thanks
