Understood. Just want to make sure I really understand what's happening when the s$@t hits the fan.

How do you handle your archived redo logs on the standby? I could delete them via an OS process once they have been applied, but is there a way to tell the database to do it (v$archived_log.deleted)? [/B]
I'm late to the party on this one but I just finished some testing on backing up archive logs on the standby. I did it with RMAN.
I have further testing to complete but I can keep you in the loop if you like. Essentially I connected to the recovery catalog remotely and the target (the stanbdy) locally. As I understand it you do not register the standby in the catalog. Anyhow...once connected I was able to backup and delete the backup logs on the standby.

My goal is to keep sysdate minus 7 worth or archive logs and have a batch job whack the backup sets once a week
