Have you tried establishing a specific time for the catalog backups 
and notifying the users and detailing the importance of the backup   
And then disable the user schedule during that timeframe ;-)

We have the same issue, but worse, we have so many user initiated backups we
have to force a catalog backup at certain times. You will lose any jobs that
are currently writing and might have some corruption from open image files,
but you will get anything that wasn't written or open just before the
catalog backup was iniated. So it is better then NOT backing up the catalog
;)

Hi everyone.
 
I have an Netbackup 4.5 installation  and quite time between backups is
scarce. When they do have time they manually initiate catalog backups.
Unfortunatly the site has operators that run user-initiated backups. So I
see backups running in parallel with the catalog backups.
The question is if this is acceptable behaviour for NetBackup 4.5. Will I
have problems with the catalog backup?
In NBU 3.4 when you ran catalog backups, no other jobs (manual or scheduled)
could run before the catalog backup completes.
 
But in 4.5 I see that you can. Has anybody similar issues? I cant find any
documentation or technotes indicating that this behaviour is wrong or right.
 
Any ideas?
 
Jim Peppas
