Re: Archive-Log

You can also setup a cron job that would have access to read and write in the archivelog directory with a line similar to:

00 20 * * 1-6 find /<ARCHIVE DIRECTORY PATH> -name 'arc*.arc' -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} \;

This would execute at 8pm Monday thru Saturday and go back 7 days prior to yesterday at execution time and delete any versions prior to that time.
