I guess I didn't make myself totally clear.  The problem with VMBACKUP
and the SFS comes when you do not have VMBACKUP make/keep a catalog
for the backup of users in the SFS.   At the end of each semester here
we backup all the ids that we are going to cancel.  Then we cancel them
all.  We keep this backup tape for a year.  This gives us a way to restore
the ids for the inevitable user who needs something that he didn't save
before his id was removed from the system.  In the past we did not have
VMBACKUP create a catalog for this procedure.  When we had a restore
request we knew which tape and let VMBACKUP go thru the tape till it found
the id(s) to be restored.  All fine and dandy.  However, now that these
ids reside in the SFS, it has come to my attention that this backup tape
is useless.  Thus my warning to anyone else using VMBACKUP.  I will in
the future be creating a catalog to go with the End of the Semester backups
that I take.
