Hello Neil,

If you do not have any jobs/volumes/files from the old Catalog to keep in
this new one installation (I´m supposing you lost all your backup data),
you can start with an empty Catalog database an your old conf files. All
the clients, jobs/filsets, schedules, etc., information are on your
configuration files and will be used in your new installation.

Best regards,
Ana
