Hi Tom,

Simon doesn't mean the recovery part. Instead he means the "normal"
startup of the server. It has to be absolutely clear (in the logfile!) if
the server was started in archive mode or not. Otherwise you always have
to guess.
On server startup there should to be a message like

LOG: Database started in archive mode

or

LOG: Archive mode is DISABLED

To get the users attention.

Greetings, Klaus
