Thank you so much for that quick response.
Just want to know once i reinstall will i be able to map all the backup sets again in new installation and restore the server data? or is it big activity which involves veritas support team.

So ideally you have a copy of the Data and Catalog directories from your original BE install still intact - in which case after BE is re-installed you can use these (replace the new ones created by the new install). If not you will need to create new jobs and run an inventory and catalog of all your storage, to tell Backup Exec what backup sets exisrt on that storage, so you can then run restores.
I would also recommend you check-out the Admin Guide - specifically the section on SDR (Simplified Disaster Recovery) Chapter 21:
