For the truly paranoid you can set it to delete after the 2^nd time it is archived.   That way you have it on tape twice before the first deletion.

 

We used to do a rotating thing with Oracle archive logs to insure we could roll forward if necessary.   We’d run an archive ever 6 hours and the logs would only be deleted on the second pass so that we’d always have 12 hours worth of logs on line and all the remaining logs on tape.

BPARCHIVE will not remove the data unless the backup completes successfully - Status 0.

 

Even a Status 1 (skipped file or the like) and the archive completes but the data is not removed.

Quick Q all

 

Does bparchive wait until successful completion before deleting the data its archived, or does it delete as it in progress ?
