We have a requirement to physically remove rman backup files that rman no
longer knows about. We know what directory the files will be in, so I need
a script that will identify those files and delete them. Two questions:
First, Will the rman 'catalog' command catalog rman files that dont belong
to the current database (I am pretty sure the answer is no to that, but I
haven't tried it).
Second, has anyone written a script that will compare file names that rman
knows about with the files in a directory? The idea here is that after the
catalog command and the delete obsolete and delete unneeded backup, any
rman files that rman does not know about can be deleted.
