Re: Remove archive log files in a production system
Re: Remove archive log files in a production system
- You should use RMAN.
- If you use RMAN and use the OS to delete archived logs, you need to
tell RMAN about it.
- You only need the archives that have been generated since your last
_good_ full backup.
- You need to analyse what your restoration requirements are. When
you are testing your backup/recovery strategy, you may discover you can
restore faster if you have some redundancy in the old archived logs.
Personally, I like to keep several backup cycles worth of archived logs
and backups on disk if there is space. I've seen "last nights" backup
go bad, for the same reason that "today's" data needs to be
recovered...
- Test some more, there were bugs.
- Upgrade.
