Backup Exec 15 catalog .prev files

Hi,

 

I upgraded from 2014 to 15 and seemed to go well...just an odbc error about the catalogs and I just conducted a catrebuildindex -r to see if that fixes it.  Other than that, can someone explain what the .prev file extension in the catalogs folder is for?  Is it for retention?

If i recall, these files are used for a catalog-driven backup ,i.e. a synthetic backup.

.prev files are created during backup with delayed cataloging enabled.  They are subsequently deleted once delayed catalog jobs complete.
