Dennis,
To perform media recovery using RMAN, it is necessary that u backup
archived log files too since it is the key to a successful recovery.
I suggest that u store the RMAN recovery catalog on a different machine
cos if ur machine crashes thus crashing the database, ur RMAN catalog
goes as well.

Must I have RMAN back up the archive log files?
We are at the delicate position of getting acquainted with RMAN. We
are using it but not yet ready to completely trust it, or rather trust that
our setup is entirely correct (we production DBAs tend to be a conservative
lot). We are just writing RMAN files to disk, no media manager.
Needless to say, we are getting the disadvantages of both methods.
In addition to the disk space taken up by the archive log files, I also have
the disk space taken up by the RMAN archive log files, so I have used twice
the amount of disk.
If I didn't have RMAN store the archive log files, would it still be
able to perform a recovery? Would it just grab the existing log files off
disk? I'm thinking it must since it has to use some archive log files that
were created since RMAN last ran. Appreciate your insights.
