Hi,

I think Sybrand is right (besides the Hitler thing), and you have already proofed it.

Docs maybe contradictionary thats also true.

use some rcp or ftp code or Sqlnet as
Sybrand suggested. (Dont know if you need EE for it).

a few things just out of my head :

• have you checked your OS/NFS Version in respect to Bugs (you didn't mention your OS/NFS Version)?
• what is your redologsize, network speed (= minimum time to transfer the arch's)?
• shouldn't you wait after the final logswitch (sleep) before the shutdown to give the archiver time to transmit ?
• anything in /var/log or dmesg

good luck and greetings from Germany,
