As the amount of information and data that you create grows larger, the backup jobs that are used to ensure their security also grows larger. As a result, the amount of time needed to parse or analyze this information could become very time-consuming and have a negative impact on the performance and scalability of your system.
To resolve this problem, whenever Arcserve Backup performs a backup, all the job, session, and media information is loaded into a database, while a separate catalog file is also created under the catalog database folder with just the pertinent description information about each session. In addition, two corresponding catalog index files (.abd and .abf) are also generated displaying the index tree structure of the directories and files within the catalog file. These catalog index files are retained on the disk and can be used to quickly browse the content of the session in the catalog file to locate the information when needed.
