Rather a lot simpler than NBU, but it is a simpler product.
%/whereveryouinstalledBE/Catalogs is the data you want. That being said we
always backup our entire BE server so we have everything anyway. Keep in mind with
BE 9 and up you are running an instance of MSDE or SQlexpress. BE automagically
sets this up to do DB backups. If you modify this in any way you will need to accommodate.
In a crash situation if you rebuilt the machine, loaded BE, catalog
the backup of backup server, then restored it to itself you are good to go.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Backup exec catalog query?
Hello All,
I am new to backup exec as i have always worked on Netbackup and Netapp.
I have given new responsibility to handle few servers getting backed up by
backup exec 9.1.
I have finally stabled the environment by creating jobs and media labels.
Now i was thinking of how to take a catalog backup as we do in netbackup.
I have created jobs to run from Mon-Sun.
Mon-Fri:-Incremental
Sat-Sun-Full.
I am using Dell PV122t-LT02 with IBM-Ultrium drive and 8 slots.
Now suppose my server got crashed after my full backup completes:-Then i can
make the servers up and restore all the data from last full backup.But what
about the previous backups:-As if do i need to import all the tapes to prepare
the catalog again or is there any other way?
Let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Pranav Batra
