Hi,
Thanks for all the replies. I am still unable to archive my redo logs in order to back them up. When startup the database I then enter
archive log list;
It shows archiving information for the coonected instance:
Database log mode ARCHIVELOG
automatic archival DISABLED
Archiv
Trang: I think that you missed the step of "alter database archivelog" while
the database is mounted but not open.
Here is the precise steps for you to review:
Modify the init.ora file with log_archive_start = true (you've already done
that)
Shutdown the database.
STARTUP MOUNT
ALTER DATAB
You probably received an error in your alert log and Oracle disabled archiving. Make
sure yuou have these 3 parameters in your init.ora and set accordingly:
log_archive_dest = /oracle/data/arc//
log_archive_format = _%s.arc
log_archive_start = true
hth,
Gene

I did switch a database's archiving mode from NOARCHIVELOG to ARCHIVELOG. I then enabled automatic archiving of filled groups by setting
log_archive_start=true
in the database's parameter file. Finally I used
alter system archive log start;
to enable automatic archiving of filled online redo
