you could change your script to say:
BACKUP ARCHIVELOG LIKE '/u01/oradata/INST/arch/%' DELETE INPUT

and repeat for each archivelog dest. i personally like the current behavior of RMAN because it gives you such granular control over how it does backups. it's just up to you to write the scripts to get the behavior you want. Received on Thu Jun 23 2005 - 15:18:04 CDT
