Yes John...
Now, I think that I understood perfectly and I have tested it too.
VolumeToCatalog = Compares the files in a Storage Volume with the Catalog;
DiskToCatalog = Compares the files of the File Deamon's File Set with
the Catalog;
Catalog = Like the DiskToCatalog but for Catalogs that don't
must change because the files are usually system files, so, must be an
isolated Catalog and the Job with Level = InitCatalog must be run before the
proper Job with Level = Catalog , in order to clean it and receive the new
records.
Am I Right, now?
One detail is...I thought that in a VolumeToCatalog I could do the
verification even without the FD connection, because, in my example, the
Catalog and the Volume are in the same server machine, but, anyway, I needed
the FD. I know that, if my files were encrypted in the Volume, I would need
the FD to decryption, but, in this case, they weren't.
Anyway, my real question was solved, Thank you.

Simplify data backup and recovery for your virtual environment with vRanger.
Installation's a snap, and flexible recovery options mean your data is safe,
secure and there when you need it. Data protection magic?
Nope - It's vRanger. Get your free trial download today.
