Hi :

I extracted the following information from one of the Veritas Technotes.
Hope it helps


This behavior may be due to a corruption in the CATALOG index file,
"BeTopCat.idx".



To resolve the issue by replacing the catalog index file, perform the
following:



1. Close Backup Exec.

2. In Control Panel | Services, stop all the Backup Exec services.

3. Delete the BeTopCat.idx file located in the \BackupExec\NT\CATALOGS
subfolder

4. Delete any of the temporary files from CATALOGS subfolder:

a.. *.TMP
b.. *.SM - (temporary CATALOG files)
c.. *.FDD - (temporary CATALOG files)
d.. QTC*.* - (temporary CATALOG files)
5. In Control Panel | Services, restart all of the Backup Exec services.

6. Open Backup Exec and go to the Restore Selections tab. A list of backup
sets should now be available for restore.

That didn't do it. I followed instruction two the letter but nothing shows
under restore selections. The Catalog directory is 400mb large with allot
of files named like "{FB55BC07-9500-4E82-A425-60F151652370}.U01". After re-starting
the services and running backup exec that catalog directory didn't create
a new betopcat.idx file...
