Reinstallation of Veritas Netbackup

Dear All,
 
Our Linux server on which we were running the Netbackup Master and Media Server 6.0 crashed and we had to reinstall including Veritas Netbackup.
 
I want to restore my Veritas Netbackup Configurations (namely my policies, clients, drive and media etc) from the earlier installation.
 
Can anyone help me with procedure to recover my previous configurations. I have the catalog backup and the installed directory tree of my previous working configuration.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
Regards
Satish
