Nope. The files are actually marked as INACTIVE by the client running the
backup.
When the backup starts, the first thing that happens (on a normal
incremental backup) is the server sends down the list of what got backed up
last time, so the client can compare with what it finds in the file
system/directory now. Files that no longer exist are marked inactive. So
if you can't run a backup on the filesystem, those files will never go
inactive.
What we do is run a script periodically to produce a list of all the
filespaces that haven't been backed up in 6 months, and also have the script
generate the appropriate DELETE FILESPACE commands which we can run after
doing a sanity check on the list. And we make THAT part of our SOP.
Hope that helps...
