Give version next time.

With 10g it's very simple :

First you register the "new" backuppieces by letting RMAN find them itself:

RMAN> catalog backup start with 'c:\backup';

And answer 'Y';

After that, verify that the backuppices are now registered under both the old (d:\) and the new (c:\) pathname :

RMAN > list backup of database;

Then you unregister the old-path-registrations by letting RMAN find out itself that they have disappeared

RMAN>crosscheck backup;
RMAN>delete expired;

Answer 'Y', and you are done.

With versions < 10g, this can only be applied to datafile copies and archivelogs, not backup pieces. In that case you need some O/S-trick like SUBST.
