There is no need to do RMAN on the backup host, just do a file system backup. I am assuming that you are doing something to put Oracle in backup mode before you do your split. As for the archive logs, it depends on how your file system was set up. If your archive logs are on the BCV volumes, then that will be moved to tape when you backup the file system. The problem with having archive logs on the BCV volumes is, when you do a restore of the BCV, you will overlay your current logs on the file system, which is very bad. What I do is make sure the Oracle archive logs are not on the BCV volumes and crontab a script to backup the logs using NetBackup and delete them when it has been backed up.

Anyone out there using BCV's to do hot backups of Oracle databases ? I have few questions
After mounting the BCV's on the backup host
1) Do you backup the filesystems ?
or
Start the database on the backup host and do a hot backup using RMAN ?
2) Also how you backup the archive logs and how often ?
Much appreciated
