I would not put money on restoring minidisks without catalogs.  You
see, I ran into a problem in restoring minidisk backups without
the catalog.   In this case the topic is SFS restore from VMBACKUP
and having problems with not dealing with a full deck meaning the
catalog.   SFS and VMBACKUP has not been all CAKE either.
But, when the SFS is wiped clean and a 100% return via VMBACKUP/E
to normal I can only say thanks to VMBACKUP/E Iam still here.
Thanks for the additional information.
