The general database parameter LOG_SEGMENT_SIZE denotes the size of a log segment in the log area in pages.

For interactive backups, the log segment size determines the size of the segments that the redo log entries are saved to. It also determines the intervals at which log areas are backed up automatically.

The size of the log segment depends on the size of the individual log volumes and must not be greater than the sum of all log volumes.
