Some information would be useful, such as has this catalog backup worked before? Can you post details of the Job details of the hung job? That would be a good start

NetBackup 6.5.6 has not been supported since October 2012 - why are you still using this old out of date version?

Have you tried rebooting the Windows Master server?

What changed 15 days ago?

How about the bpbkar, bptm and bpbrm logs , can you post them up?

Catalog backup usually has 4 jobs in total, Parent, database staging, database backup and db backup - which one is hanging or is it all of them?

While we are awaiting answers:

nbdb_backup -online <some directory> will make a backup on NBDB  (have to create the dir first)

Policy to backup <install path>/netbackup/db/images and where ever you put the NBDB backup  - will make a 'tmp' catalog backup.  It's not perfect, but better than nothing.

How many jobs are running for the catalog backup? Is this a hot catalog backup or cold catalog backup?
