I see, man.
But you said the disk containing archived logs crashed so I was
confused.
One more thing, you need not only one archived log past the point of
backup, it depends.
You will need the archived logs from the time you begin the backup
until you force Oracle server to do a logswitch. Oracle will do a
logswitch when redo logfiles are full, not just wait for you.
Just my 2 cents.
