Hello,
currently we have windows server NetBackup server , we need to deploy an HA and DR , which is the best way other than considergin cluster solution ?

This question calls for a proper workshop to figure out what do you have and what you can afford in terms of tech and what are you business requirements in terms of RPO/RTO. Now if speaking of theoretical options here are a few:

thank you , we have physical libraries and its not supported under VM option once cannot be an option . I’d really looking for more suggestion

With physical libraries you could consider making a old style HA/DR solution, with duplication, movement of of medias and import at the HA/DR sites or maybe you can do a catalog replication.
A more elegant solution would be replication between MSDPs and then duplication to tape at the HA/DR sites.

You can virtualise the Master machine, you'd just need to have a physical media server to talk to the tape library. If your master is also a media server then its clustering is not supported since NBU 7.5 or so, hence you don't have many options without changing the architecture.
Also quite important to understand what are you going to do with your data as HA/DR for the master server only helps to get metadata usable but where the data will be backed up to/restored from is also important consideration
