I'm not one of those tool writers, although I have written my share of
DBA scripts over the years, but I wonder why those tools would really
care.  They are handed files with predetermined names to archive, and
for restore files with predetermined names are requested back from them.
 What else do they need?  If something is missing that requires them to
parse file names, then maybe that should be added.
