It's not that big deal to use bscan but, of course, it will be better to have 
the catalogue available. 

I agree with you about the sub-catalogue on the media.

Do you need to catalogue to stay available, or are you happy for it to expire 
and to bscan the media back in in the rare case where you might what to restore 
it?

What would be nice is a way to store a sub-catalogue on the media itself, and a 
way of importing that catalogue back in again when required, as a bscan isn't 
always ideal.
