RE: Simple RMAN question

Question: 
Since we do not have a recovery catalog,
should we run "crosscheck" or "delete obsolete"?
All we do now is deleting backups using OS delete.
 
Thanks.

Hi,

After the OS deletion, you should use the command "change
backup|backupset ... unavailable" for the related backup sets.

Otherwise you might loose your backups should someone run "crosscheck
backup;" + "delete expired backup;"

Jerome
