No, all your UDC settings (setcatalog commands) are saved in the
file COMMAND.PUB.SYS, and as long as this file is on your backup,
a simple restore of it brings back your UDCs.
In earlier releases we had very rare cases of internal file
corruptions in COMMAND.PUB.SYS, so we here in the German RC
still tend to recommend to have BULDACCT run from your
fullbackup job, so that the job streams BULDJOB1 and BULDJOB2
get stored with it, and can be used if the need arises ever.
