Ok, try this.

In this scenario, the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/sync file had become corrupt.
To fix it, it is necessary to rebuild it, following these steps:
1. Move the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/sync file to /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/sync.old
2. Using the GUI, redefine all DB catalog backup attributes, including any additions/revisions. Click OK to save and a new sync file will be created.
3. Verify that a new sync file was created
4. Run a DB catalog backup to verify the catalog backup is now working correctly
5. Remove the /usr/openv/netbackup/db/config/sync.old file when you have confirmed that the DB catalog backups are working correctly
cheers!!!
