If you backup your catalog via an NB policy then you'll have to install NB &
the catalog in order to restore the catalog.  Very circular.  The bysyncinfo
method uses a simple tar to tape so that Netbackup is not required to be
installed in order to read the tape.
 
So, in short, "yes" you can back it up but "no" it's not usable to restore
Netbackup.

Our environment is:

Netbackup Enterprise 5.1

Master Server on HP-UX 11i

Media Server on HP-UX 11i

SureStore 20/700 Library (LTO-1)

 

We are currently backing up our catalog to disk.  If I also back this
catalog disk image to tape via a normal NetBackup policy can I use this for
my offsite catalog backup?  Or do I have to run "bpsynacinfo -doBackup" and
point it to tape to have a valid catalog backup on tape?
