   If you have, say, 2500 tapes in the library, which one has that
  flat file on it?


Great point, only I have "slight difficulty" picturing Windows box 
"driving" 2500 unit tape library. Somehow one-on one is most often 
Windows mantra in which case searching flat files is the way I'd 
like it. BTW, many moons ago I had ArcServe which too tended to build 
and maintain its own database (that could not be turned off), which by 
itself became corrupted and could not be purged, so when it eventually
ate most of humongous (for that time) 4GB HDD - I got rid of ArcServe, 
hating the very idea of backup catalog databases ever since.
