This might be an option. No harm in trying.
All policies are saved on the master under NetBackup/db/class/*
Just zip up and extract that same structure from source to destination.
I would have netbackup master shutdown on both while you do this.
Then start up the master and netbackup console on the other site to see if they appear.
Interestingly in the Catalog Recovery guide from the Troubleshooting Guide it might also be possible to perform a recovery of that structure in a 'partial catalog recovery' from the catalog backup. It does state this is optional.

If i select the CHANGE SERVER option under file menu will that change the master server physically as i just wanted to copy my policies to the new MASTER SERVER in another site
What if my Server is not discoverable is there any other way to do this as my New Master server is located in another location.
Thanks

I agree with Stuart - just copy contents of class folder while both masters are down.
Remember to update Storage Unit in all policies after you have started NBU on new server.
