Hi there,
I have a db that is in archive log mode.I understand that this *.arc files are very useful in restoring the db should it crash. However it seems to be taking up quite a lot of disk space.I have used a script to gzip this *.arc files but still i have difficulties managing the space.I found that some of this *.arc.files were generated in year 2004.How can I know which *.arc files I should keep and what is safe to be removed from the system?
Can someone please advise me on what to do.
I have oracle9i on aix 4.3.
Thanks a million.
