Oracle Error ORA-19915: unable to encrypt pre-10.2 files

Oracle Error Message

ORA-19915: unable to encrypt pre-10.2 files

Reason for the Error

An RMAN encrypted backup was requested, but this backup includes one or more archived logs that were generated by an older release of Oracle. These archived logs cannot be encrypted.

Solution

Back up the older logs without encryption. Logs created with Oracle release 10.2 and greater can be encrypted.
