If these files are lost they can be regenerated (Run a Catalog Job within BE) with the help of Media Based catalog as the media always contains the info about what sets are written on it until the media is overwritten. These are called Disk Based Catalog (These are XML and FH files in catalogs folder of BE). In order for Backup Exec to read the information about the set stored on the Backup Media, it needs to create Catalog files which it stores on Disk. This is referred to as Media Based Catalog which reside on the media. When backup is taken on a media, the information about the set that is being written is also added to that storage media. The purpose of reading the data can be to restore data or duplicate a backup set to another secondary or tertiary storage.
