Try this, your path may be a little different but under Base it will be the same.
Open regidt32.exe
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE on Local Machine
Open it to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\ARCserveIT\Base\Task
Highlight Task and select Edit Add Key from the menue bar.
Key Name: Merge
Class: <leave blank>
Hightlight Merge and select Edit Add Value
Value Name: DonotUseCatalogMerge
Data Type: REG_DWORD
click OK
Data: 1 *// 1 = Enabled, 0 = Disabled

Prior to 7.0/2000 that is all there was. In 2000 it was changed, db info went into a catalog file, cat file was backed up to tape as last file in session. Merge restores that cat file and then merges db info from it. Program is disigned to default to sequintial merge if cat does not work. Sometimes that fails and so the hack can force it, by the why it should be undone after merge.
Sequintial merge starts at the beinging of the session and reads through the whole thing to get the db info.
