I can confirm that not getting a Catalog backup for your environment, is like leaving the front door of your house open for a whole day, and coming back to empty space !
 
Not worth the hassle. Stop jobs to get a decent cat backup, and then re-start any jobs where poss !

Worth Noting?

If your backups are running 24/7, no also probably are not getting any catalog backups. That can put you in a world of hurt if you have a crash or corruption on the master server. I'd figure out some way to get a quiet window to do those backups.  --Jim V.
