When you move the backup files to non-FRA location, or your backup files are not located under default location, you need to Catalog these backups ( datafiles, control files and archivelogs ).

RMAN Catalog command is used to register these files to Controlfile again.

Run catalog command to register backups into new controlfile. If you don’t catalog it, it does not identify backups and you will get No backup founds errors.

If you don’t run Catalog command, then you can not use and restore and recover these backup files, So you need to catalog backup pieces to use them.
