Thanks Kern for your reply.
According to your instructions, seems like you are explaining how to 
change the database name, right?
Where I say to the "catalog's name", Im referring to the catalog 
resource name and not the database name itself.

I mean, for example, change from:

Catalog {
  Name = MyCatalog
  dbname = bacula; user = bacula; password = "XXXXX"
}
to:
Catalog {
  Name = CatalogForSERVERS
  dbname = bacula; user = bacula; password = "XXXXX"
}

Thanks, once again,
       Jaime
