Remarks
If you delete the backup catalog for a computer, you will not be able to access the backups created of that computer using the Windows Server Backup snap-in. In this case, if you can access another backup location, use wbadmin restore catalog to restore the backup catalog from that location. You should create a new backup once your backup catalog is deleted.
