Hi,
Can you tell me how to size my archivelog backup sets? I know I can set the max # of files in a backup set, and the max size of the backup set in bytes, but I don't understand the significance of these. It seems I would want my backup set as large as possible so I would have less backupsets to maintain, but what are the constraints I should be aware of? I currently have max files 100 and max kbytes at 500000, but I still get about 20 backup sets a day, which I then have to go back and delete. The list grows so quickly, I would like to make this more manageable.

Looking for suggestions...
Dawn
