What is the value of placing catalogs on both the server hard drive and tapes?
In short – huge if the catalogs on the backup server hard disk are either lost or altered. The catalogs are the roadmap to your data. When lost, they must be manually re-created – a painful and time-consuming effort. If the catalog is lost when using BRU, simply use BRU Server’s Scan feature and the catalogs will be automatically re-created on the server’s hard disk from the catalogs contained on the tapes. The process takes minutes versus the hours/days of manual re-creation that can suffer from human error.
