Simon,
You can user bprecover with disk catalogue backups just as you would with tape.
Just give it a "-dpath disk_path" instead of "-tpath tape_device_path".
And no you can't just copy the images - they are formated differently.

DaveCan you use BPRECOVER (or another tool) to bring the catalogues back
fromDISK? Or if you are a Windows Master Server, could you simply copy
thefolder structure BACK over the Netbackup directory once the Services are
allstopped??

I used to have to import around 8 tapes (DLT4) on DLT7000 drives for a Disaster
recovery test. After doing both phases the clock had ticked past 15 hours. This
was before i could do any restores.
Obviously this was too long so i now create backup copies of the catalogues to
disk and sync them over to the DR site which has a backup server with the same
name. In event of DR i just bprecover the catalogues i have transfered over the
DR environment and it can then read the tapes which were backed up at
production site. This is obviously no use now but may help in the future.
Why have you not got a copy of the catalogues? Are you not creating them or is
the tape duff? May be a way to avoid having to import 500 tapes.
