Catalog File Structure

A CA VM:Backup catalog encompasses the entire set of related catalog files generated from a single full backup and from all incremental backups based on that full backup. Catalogs include both data files and index files. Each of these files points to the other related files in the catalog. This is known as a catalog chain.

Important! CA VM:Backup maintains all catalog files and the pointers between them internally. Do not rename or erase these files, and never modify a catalog file manually.
