Hi All,
        You do not need to archive the log files.

        Alter system switch logfile does not return until 
        the logfile is written to disk. For recovery purposes
        the location of the logfile does not matter as long 
        as it has been written.
        
        Archiving and hot backups are totally seperate processes.


Alter system switch logfile 

For each tablespace
        start backup mode
        backup datafiles
        end backup mode

Alter system switch logfile 


No archiving necessary, let the archiver do it's job so you don't have
to.
