changing the log_archive_dest

Hi

is it safe to change the log_archive_dest without restarting the database?

i want to take a hot backup of a production db so that it can be replicated on a test system, but as it take hours to copy the datafiles while the tablespaces are in backup mode, the amount of archive logs is filling the disk. So i would like to repoint the log_archive_dest to a larger disk and try this again.

as long as i keep all the archives from both the current and new locations it feels like i should be ok to do this, can someone put my mind at rest

Howdy, Stranger!
