All catalog files are replicated from the managed media server to the central administration server. Both the managed media server and the central administration server store the catalog produced by the managed media server.

Deletions of catalog files are replicated between the managed media server and the central administration server only when the catalog files are deleted by Backup Exec according to the catalog settings. If catalog files on the managed media server are deleted as a result of an archive operation or a manual deletion, the deletions are replicated the next time that the catalogs are synchronized.
