How to backup NBU using its self?
We have NBU 8.3.02 installed on a Windows 2019 VM and would like to configure a VM backup of the server using NBU. Is this possible and is there any documentation outlining the steps?
The catalog backup is the only supported way to protect your Netbackup installation.

A VMware level backup will not protect the NBDB database in a consistent state, it will be crash consistent. And using Netbackup for backing up Netbackup is bad. E.g. You can't restore Netbackup because Netbackup is down.
