Hello All,
I've recently moved into a Sys Admin role. I had to re-install netbackup as the services were completly messed up. Tried to do repairs but it kept failing.
I have managed to get everything else up and running except the catalog. The catalog's are saved under D:\Catalog
I have read a few articles & guides about importing the catalog.
I have followed this guide and it completed - http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH43584 but when i go to "backup, archive & restore" it doesnt find any records etc.
Sorry my knowledge with netbackup is a little limited, as i have sort of been thrown into this role.
Any help would be much appreciated. if you need any info let me know
-Netbackup 6.5.4
-Windows Server 2003 + SP2
Thank you
Solved! Go to Solution.

NetBackup catalog backup is a special processing, you can look at the following technotes to have some ideas about hot catalog backup:

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?page=content&id=TECH61108
The technote TECH43584 you found is about importing a backup in the catalog and recovering it ... but not about recovering the catalog itself.
In NetBackup 6.5, backup of the catalog is performed by a specific NetBackup Policy which type is "Catalog Backup".
You have to retreive a file names "DR file" and to use it for catalog recovery - this file is generated and most of the time emailed during catalog backup and there is a wizard on the NetBackup main sceen to help you.
Do you have this DR file ? How your catalog has been saved ?

Hi,
When you saved, do you mean backed up, or do you mean that was the folder is was configured in. What does the content of the D:\Catalog look like?
