I just run this every day in a script from cron. As no backups are 
running the catalogues wont change so you have accurate info. This script is
pretty old and was from my 3.2 days so theres much better 
ways of checking jobs are running.

I also then sync this over to a DR site with a backup server with the 
same name. Then i can bprecover the first site catalogues and the DR site
will beable to read the tapes from the first site and restore to 
alternate clients.

Hope it helps :-
