As you said, you are backing up your media server along with your other servers. Once you have installed BE on another server you can restore a folder called catalogs from your media server backup to your new BE server and use "catindexrebuild -r" command to use those catalogs files.

Thanks guys, some real eye openers for me here.
Please confirm if I understand everything correctly. (The scenario being that our primary HO server is completely out of action and the only way to recover is to install BE from scratch and restore BE from a fresh install to one running with all the previously backed up catalogs)
Option 1 : Having to firstly copy over all the catalogs from tape to the fresh install and then still do a scan\catalog on each tape.
Option 2 : Copying over all the catalogs to the fresh install and replace the DB on the fresh install with the old one on tape. If so I would then have to go into the db and change the name in the db to that of the newly built server. (Would naming the new server the same as the old one not eliminate having to change the name in the db?)

You have understood it correctly. In the second option if you choose to have a same server name as the old one then you will not need to go through changing the name in the Db.
If this answer your questions then please mark this as the sollution.
