Why doesn't oracle full backup + archivelog NOT include the online redo logs?

hi,


I can't get my head around understanding this Oracle design decision - not even after 10 years.

If I run a full/whole backup for database + archive log it will cause database to write the latest transaction to the online redo log file but it will not back up the online redo logs. why? - this seems bad design, no?

This means the latest commit after I start backup will not be saved because it's written to the online redo log file. (unless I do something smart like log switching)

This design raises more question then answers, and Oracle never answers these questions which is odd. Why they design it this way? Is there something in Oracle doc about the reason why they don't

Howdy, Stranger!
