How do you move the catalog?

I'd like to move the catalog since I put it below the folder that's being
indexed. I read somewhere that's not a good idea and I'd like to move it
instead of creating another one from scratch.

Also, any optimization tips would be nice.

Thanks, John

You can't move it. It was a good idea to park it outside of the directories
you were indexing in earlier version of Indexing services, but in V2 by
default the catalog files are not indexed.

Is it possible to :
- backup the catalog folder
- using MMC, delete catalog
- re-create catalog on the new place
- stop the service
- restore the backup on the new place
- re-start the service

?

Jacques.
