We are testing the recovery of a database cluster. We have read the documentation and have been able to recover successfully but we were wondering about the contents of the ARCHIVE_STATUS subdirectory. It appears that it is OK for this directory to be entry during recovery. I just wanted to verify that this is correct. Also, is there a way to search the archives for all notes on a particular subject? Is this ADMIN list the appropriate forum for backup and recovery questions? Thanks alot!
