-a|-archive

This BRARCHIVE command option backs up offline redo log files saved earlier on disk to tape, to remote disk, or to backup utility (BACKINT).

            -a|-archive

Default value: BRARCHIVE saves all those offline redo log files to tape that have not already been saved to tape. Both the copies saved directly to tape as well as those written to tape through a disk backup are taken into account. At the most two copies can be written to tape.

Example

A copy of the offline redo log files that were copied to disk in a previous backup is created in parallel on each of two different tapes:

brarchive -ss -a
