Re: 9iRAC archive logs and RMAN backups

RMAN does not write to the archived logs. That job is essentially for ARCn to do. RMAN will read the archived redo logs. And it does need write access to the archive log destination if you tell RMAN to DELETE INPUT when backing up the archived redo logs. And it needs write access to the archive log destination when restoring the archived redo logs from the backup. But RMAN does not actually write information into the archived redo logs themselves.
