I just setup a bacual instance on Debian9 and it was messy/painful for some
reason, I had to do a lot of config by hand which I didnt expect.

 Anyway how can I verify that the system is backing up the catalouge?

The reason I am saying this I did the default backup and restore and I can
see the restored files which proves the backup seems to be working.
However in bconsole when I look at the status of the director I see the
backupcatalouge is 0 bytes insize.  Surely there should be some small
amount even if I have only done one small backup?

So is there a way to verify the catalouge is OK?

or is what I am seeing expected?
