Hmm, would it work to do an OS level copy so long as you get to the redo log
before it starts being written to again?
Just a random thought...

I don't think, it's possible.
Most probably it checks 'archived' column in v$log.
Also, it keeps track of archived files in v$archived_log.

Is it possible to re-archive an already archived 
but still online redo log file? 

the 8.1.6 sql*plus manual says it is, but 
I can't get the syntax down right apparently. 

SQL>  archive log 227 

returns a ORA-16013 (does not need archiving) error 
and 

SQL> archive log 227 to '/tmp' 
returns 
SP2-0718  illegal arhicve log option 

Anybody done this?
