It might be better now, but back in the days of SLED, during our
conversion to SMS we included the catalogs and had them on SMS managed
disk. At the time, out MTBF for real 3390s was around a month. We lost a
HDA containing a ICF Catalog. I asked DFHSM to recover the volumes and
APPLYINCREMENTAL.
It was a disaster in itself. I spent the next week fixing catalog
entries and moving all catalogs to non-SMS. I'd advise against SMS
managed catalogs volumes :)

I had a seperate job that was used ONLY to back up the catalogs and TMC,
after all other backups were complete.
