Question as in Subject.

I know that veritas itself discourages this practice, but on the other hand 
it is possible to perform such a backup. As far as I know when regular 
backup runs, its catalog information is written at the end of a backup 
session. Also when the catalog backup is started, the catalog itself is 
frozen until the backup finishes.

What happens with the catalog data of a regular backup session when both 
catalog backup and regular backup run at the same time? Is this informatino 
somehow lost?
