Thank you Connor..
I have oracle9i database on AIX 5.3 with archive mode. But all archive logs are compressing automatically the minute it get generated with Perl scripting. (file extn is .Z)
in this case can i take RMAN Inc0 backup or not. Because after finishing INC0 backup, databse will check for old archive logs or not.

That sounds like trouble ahead :-)
(In my view) if you are using RMAN, then you really need to let RMAN take care of the archivelogs. If space is a problem, then you can run RMAN more frequently to *just* do the archivelogs and delete them once backed up.
