Murat, The estimate of amount of space for archive logs come from your redo log switch. If you have placed the init.ora parameter log_checkpoints_to_alert set to TRUE, then your alert log file will have lines when the redo log group switch fom one to the other. That will give you a rough idea of the time it takes to fill up a redo log. If you are using archiving, the redo log has to be written to disk. In any one given day, you can then calculate the archive log generation.
Then comes how you want to back it up and clean up the space. If you have a process running that will scan for archive logs; back them to tape and then delete it, then you have to figure out how often this process runs and how much archive log stays on the disk before getting deleted. Changing the log mode of the tablespace level does not change teh redo log genration in most cases. If you define a tablespace or an object as nologging, only a few operations like ALTER TABLE .. PARTITION, ALTER INDEX REBUILD, direct load are not logged, all others are. And in any case the system tables are always logged. HTH.
