Backing up Backup Exec server Q

Hi,

I want to backup my Backup Exec server.

I am aware that I need:

• Data folder (For DB backup)
• Catalogs folder (Not technically necessary but useful)
• Licences
• Version and patch info

I found this link which is useful:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/blogs/how-protect-backup-exec-itself

I found this article via this post:

https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/backing-backup-exec-server

A Symantec Employee comment mentions that the Data and Catalog folders must be backed up manually?

Does this mean I can not simply schedule a job within Backup Exec itself to do this?

(The DB at the very least should be OK because the DB maintenance window creates a backup I believe which will not be active?)
