    I am afraid its not possible to import the image.

    Once you delete a image residing on disk, Netbackup will delete the image immediately. Now the space used by the image will only be reused one the data domain after a clean has run, but the file itself is deleted from the data domain file system. Same apply for advanced disk, basic disk and MSDP.

    Best senario for import is tape, where data it not deleted, but meta data removed from Netbackup catalog.
