Re: EBU catalog backup

Based on the documentation, which is still available on technet, by default EBU backs up the catalog after any backup operation. Not sure why it's disabled, but when we used it (a long time ago) we always let it default to backing up the catalog and I don't recall any issues with the time to back it up. As I remember it was never all that large anyway.
