+.. Note:: Backup snapshots create with ``change-detection-mode`` set to ``data``
+ or ``metadata`` do not encode a dedicated catalog, as the metadata archive
+ already contains the same information in a quickly accessible manner.
+ Therefore, the ``proxmox-backup-client catalog`` commands are not available

+ mount and inspect these snapshots.
