The log will contain additional information when you start BRARCHIVE with the option -o dist|time or -w|-verify. See Log Supplements for BRBACKUP and BRARCHIVE, -o|-output and -w|-verify.
This information indicates which file was saved where.

#SAVED: this entry varies depending on the type of archiving:

File name, name of tape, position of the file on the tape, compression rate and the size of the compressed file (if compressed) and save set key and size (if RMAN set backup)
-
Archiving on disk
File name, symbolic volume name and file position (only important for BRRESTORE), compression rate and the size of the compressed file (only if compressed)

Log Supplements
Using the option -o dist|time [,time|dist] or the option -w (or both) causes the detail log to be supplemented.
When you select -o dist and no compression rate is available yet, the compression rate 1:1 is selected for the offline redo log files (column rate in the display). Note that BRARCHIVE will only carry out archiving in parallel when started with one of the options -ss or -ssd.
