I'm not sure if it will realy be of use if your DB files become corrupted. Maybe in some cases, but i'm pretty shure you will need your backup if your database files become useless.

Also, it is most commonly used in combination with a backup system. Once a new backup has been created, the archived log file is dropped. Otherwise, if the archive log is not set up to rotate, it will keep on growing. The real added value here is that if the database breaks down somewhere past a backup, it can be restored up to the latest point in time by using the archive log files (wich are of course stored on a different machine, for that reason).
