Sergio, the RunBeforeJob script dumps the catalog database tables to a file. It does this as it says "Before the Backup job runs". Then when the backup job runs, it backs up the files in the defined "Fileset" for the job. The Fileset defined in that Job should include the directory where the make _catalog_backup script writes the db dump out to. Then, once the job has finished, the RunAfterJob script deletes the dumped database file from the hard drive to save space I imagine. Personally, I re-write that default/included delete_catalog_backup script to make sure that the latest db dump or two are always available on the hard drive in case I need them.
