    Hi Shehkh4 

    For the catalog recovery did you perform this as part of a NetBackup DR recovery, if not you may need to recover the certificate store - this can be done using the nbhostidentity command to import the DR package that was saved when the last catalog backup ran on the system you are recovering from. Something like:
    # nbhostidentity -import -infile <path_to_dr_file>\<Cat-policy>_1672319922_FULL.drpkg 

    You will need the catalog passphrase to complete the operation.

    Cheers

Looks like it can't find the path to where the backup was written..

I would guess, you are trying to restore data on the master server, that was backed up to a disk on the master..... If this is the case, unless you have access to the disk, and have the image files on it, you will not be able to do the restore.
Please provide more details as to what you be are trying to do...

Are you performing a DR?
Are you trying to migrate master using backup and restore method?

I was performing a DR and then I copied the media files to its storage, that's how I was able to do Catalog Recovery. Everything is showing the policies, backup, client etc but Certificate Mgt is giving Error with status 130. Can you explain this?

      Actually, I didn't install NetBackup with Disaster Recovery rather First Installed NetBackup & then restored the Catalog backups that's why I have to do it now.

      Oh, Thank you so much btw we will use the .drpkg file for this?
      Also, Do you know how to do this with GUI instead of command line if we can do it?

        I don't know today when I opened Host Mgt and Certificate Mgt it showed me the entities, I think it is because today a new Catalog backup ran according to the schedule, don't know Exactly.
