ORA-00283

Question

Hello
I am using Oracle XE on Linux. I want to create a backup server in case my production server is down the backup server has the most recent backup available.
To do this I taken a Cold backup of the Production DB and copied the files at the same location at my Backup server. Backup DB started fine.
From onwards I don't want to down my Production server and therefore I taken the backup of production controlfile by using
   ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE ........Then I copied all the archivelogs from production to the Backup server. On the backup server I connected SQL Plus and wrote:
SQL> startup mount;
ORACLE instance started.

arc'You have corrupted archive log. Maybe during copying not all file copied. Copy once more this particular file from production server and try again to recover.
