That is interesting. It should start with sequence 66 logically. Is it possible that some or few of the tablespaces were left in the hot backup mode on sunday/monday morning ? Please check the alert log. My guess is that, one of the tablespace was in the backup mode, say from Sunday at least, and

Sinardy, what's your uptime requirement? You're allowed a weekly cold shutdown for backup? what I'm asking is - when you are copying the datafiles to tape, its during a clean, cold shutdown, right? Have you ever tested the recovery portion of your backup/recovery scheme? If your 'copying files

Sinardy, Who will recover the database in case of a failure? Turing on archiving would not hinder performance so much. Proper planning of your backup strategy and db setup will have little overhead on performance of your database. You cannot sacrifice backups for a marginal increase in
