Catalog

What is cataloging and why would I ever need to run a catalog job? I am new to Veritas and not familiar with the catalog feature.

Thanks

Hello,

Catalog operation is used to log the contents of a media created by a product other than this installation
of Backup Exec (imported media), or to create a new catalog on the local hard drive if the
catalog for the media no longer exists. Media must have a catalog before data can be
restored from it or verified. You can also catalog backup-to-disk files. If the media is being
used by this system for the first time, you may need to inventory the media first.
