bpdbm consistency checks

The command guide lists three levels associated with bpdbm -consistency (0, 1, 2), but not much about what the checks actually do.

Is any more information available?

 

Thanks,

    -consistency [0-2]

    Runs the consistency checks on the catalog. The following are the three consistency levels:

    0 - A quick check of the NetBackup image database (the default).

    1 - Performs more checks than the default check.

    2 - The most in-depth consistency check. In addition to the level 0 and 1 checks, this level checks that the media that is mentioned in the image exists. (That is, it cross-references the media servers databases.) On a large NetBackup installation, the process takes much longer to complete than the other checks.
