You have to look in the NBU 4.5 Admin Guide for FP3 ("Includes Feature
Pack") for the description, the 4.5 GA does not have them.  Here's the
intro to the section which describes them better than I could...

  The catalog archiving feature helps users tackle the problems that
  large amounts of catalog data can pose: large catalogs require a
  greater amount of disk space and can be time-consuming to back
  up. Catalog archiving reduces the size of online catalog data by
  relocating the large catalog .f files to secondary storage. NetBackup
  administration will continue to require regularly scheduled catalog
  backups, but without the large amount of online catalog data, the
  backups will be faster.
