GHas

The following occurs when a Hot_Catalog backup job runs:

nbdb_admin -validate NBAZDB
nbdb_admin -validate

Any suggestions?

Please tell us more about the catalog backup process - how many jobs are started?
Has the catalog backup completed successfully before?
Have you checked for sufficient space in the filesystem where NBU is installed?

I am confused about the clearly successful part of the backup to tape:
Info 07/20/2017 08:42:02 MasterServer MasterServer 27226 Backup successfully  wrote..... 
And then the failed staging afterwards:
Info 07/20/2017 08:42:08 MasterServer MasterServer 27225 (the  requested staging operation failed)

Catalog Backup normally consists of 4 jobs:

1. A parent job that controls and monitors the progress of the catalog backup and then 3 child jobs:

2. First child job:  stages the databases to a staging area - the netbackup, bmr databases etc.

3. The second child job then backs up up the staged (dumped) databases.

4. The third child job backs up all of the files under netbackup\db area (images and configuration files)

 

Please try to run a manual backup of the relational databases (similar to the 1st child job that stages the relational databases):

Create a temp directory, e.g. C:\tmp
In cmd window, cd to <install_path>\NetBackup\bin\ and run:
nbdb_backup -online C:\tmp

What is the result? 

For further troubleshooting, you will need bpdbm log as mentioned by @Thiago_Ribeiro.
If the folder does not exist under ...netbackup\logs, create it and restart NBU.
