Importing tapes from different netbackup environment

i have 2 different netbackup environment for 2 sites, I have a set of tapes coming in from the other site, these tapes are  nbu catalog backup and the other are data backup.

The idea is to have the backup images of the data backup to be imported to the other site fast and readily be available. Is there a way that i can use the nbu catalog backup in order to import those tapes fast instead of doing the 2 phase imports for each of the tapes? or the nbu catalog backup is useless?

    You can use 'Recovery without Import' method.

    Extremely important to add remote tapes to non-backup pool (e.g. RESTORE) to prevent tapes from being overwritten. 

    See: http://www.veritas.com/docs/000026322

        Yes. All is explained in the Recovery Without Import doc.

        Only image portion will be recovered and merged with imagedb.
