I'm not an expert in this, but I would imagine that you need to both
delete the media on disk as well as the solr indicies.  Should be
minimal MySQL needed until 1.4 comes out, in which case I would imagine
the episode service will have either explicit features for deleting or
at least some routines to hunt down what needs to go.

If you're willing to help do some experimenting I imagine we could put
together a cookbook recipe.

It's important to be clear on what you want to back up too.  We only
back up media packages, not deployed data.  So if we want to "restore",
we actually just "reprocess".  There are pros and cons to this
approach, the largest issue being that links aren't preserved.

Regards,

Chris
