The Merge Catalog utility (mergecat.exe) can be used to manually merge in any .cat files that remain in the Arcserve Backup\temp directory.
During a backup, the database information is written to a .tmp file. At the end of that backup session the .tmp is changed to a .cat file and is written to tape as the last file in that session. In addition, at the end of a backup the mergecat.exe utility is spawned and will merge all the *.cat files into the database regardless of which job they are from.
By running the mergecat utility, Arcserve Backup will take all the .cat files from the Arcserve Backup\catalog.db directory, and merge them into the database.
Note: The mergecat.exe utility is not to be used to manually merge cat files from tape, rather it is to be used to merge .cat files that have been left over in the Arcserve Backup\catalog.db directory.
The mergecat utility is located in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\CA\ARCserve Backup>mergecat.exe
Usage :
MERGECAT.EXE /F:00000000.CAT /D:[0/1]
/F:CATALOG.CAT - Default is to merge all catalogs /D:1 - Default is to delete catalog file after merging it
When a .cat file is initially written, the Read attribute is disabled for that file. After the .cat files are processed by the mergecat utility, the Read-Only attribute is automatically applied by default. If you need to merge a .cat file into a SQL database with the Read-Only attribute applied, run the following command:
mergecat /F:"<fullpath>.cat" /R
This will merge this catalog file into SQL database even if the Read-Only attribute is applied.
