nice one thanks steveot very good reply and explains it very well

i have exacly the same problem. I copy my backups to a disk and that is taken of site. i had to restore a file for someone that was on one of those disks but like with you i was overwriting the data. the catalog fails saying i have to run a inventory then resubmit the catalog?? i have done this...
