Hi,

Looks like it is possible to take RMAN backups while the archiveloging
is disabled.  We have an instance that starts with archiver ON. Then, we
disable the archivelog using "alter system archive log stop".

I was under the impression that I need to enable logging before I take
RMAN Backups.  But, RMAN didn't complain about Archive Logging is
disabled.  I don't get any error.

Is this normal ??  I read from Rman manual that RMAN backups can't be
taken unless archive log is enabled.

Any comments??
