When I used to have archiving of oracle logs in NB it wouldn't delete
the file until the 2nd time it was backed up to tape.  Since we were
also doing log shipping and backed up both from the primary and standby
databases we typically had 4 copies of the logs at any given point.

When my users talk about archiving, they are talking about moving data 
away from where it is, but they still want and need it.

NetBackup "Archive" is a joke to me.  As many or most people don't 
backup or archive data to two locations at the same time, the NetBackup 
archived data tends to be in one place.

I always tell anyone that will listen that if you have data in just one 
place, you have decided that it is not critical and can go away with out

"the sky falling".   True archiving (to me, having a verified and 
protected copy of data) isn't easy.

cheers, wayne
