One place I found was under the section "Restoring When a Catalog is
Not Available"  (Pg 7-5).  The only other place I found it was in the
section on the Template Programming Interface.  I did NOT, I repeat
NOT find it in the section CMS Shared File System Requirements (1-16).
Having long ago (pre-SFS) read the Restoring When a Catalog is not
available, I did not re-read it when I starting backing up the SFS.
I read the requirements section, found nothing to alert me to the
need for a catalog and happily backed up and cancelled a bunch of
users from the SFS.  I finally read the 'Restoring When...' section
after error messages made my heart sink.

And to Chris at Ricevm, when you have only minidisks a catalog is
not required.  VMBACKUP can build one as he goes along and can scan
tapes for the backup of any given id.
