The individual Components
The individual components for backing up and recovering an ORACLE

The archiving monitor
The backup component
The recovery component
The overall configuration
Each section starts with a functional description. This is followed by an expla-

the subsequent management of the offline redolog files created in this manner. 
If the archive directory becomes full, your database will come to a halt. This 
administrative gap is bridged by the archiving monitor (amon) (see
