Really? How do you use OS command to backup flashback logs if they are on ASM disk group?

Now, manual deletion of FB logs is a novel idea. Flasback & aecovery area is not supposed to be backed up, it's meant for online recovery and/or flashback of database, it's not meant for database recovery in case of a catastrophic failure. Your RMAN knows what to back up when you ask it to "backup database".
