It's been a long time since I managed any BackupExec, luckily, it was 11d :) Salt accordingly.

IIRC, yes, this is stored in the catalog on the BE master (not media) server in a sqlexpress database. IIRC, it's also written to the last file on the tape media (or in a media set?) so that you can recatalog the tape should disaster ever strike and your catalog is not available. > 2.

I believe there's a "verify media" option in BE that will read a tape and check the tape versus the catalog. IIRC it's not a forensic tool but rather a media validation tool, but it should be serviceable for your needs. > 3. This may be moot if the checksums are encrypted as well; are they? No clue on this, we didn't use encryption back then, we used our own secure facility and courier.
