You have to have the DR File to recover
from an 'online' catalog backup. Whether that means you use the DR
file that is email/stored somewhere, or the method described by Robert.
I have done a recovery using both methods.
In the case below where you have to retrieve the DR File, I stopped
at step 8 and then used the Catalog Recovery Wizard and pointed it to the
dr file and everything worked fine.

Haven't tested this either, but NBU certainly gives
the impression
that it *could* be done without the DR file. For the sake of
discussion, here are the instructions that 6.0MP4 includes in an
email with our DR file. Note 4 steps with versus 14 without:
Disaster Recovery Procedure using the DR Image File
In the event of a catastrophic failure, use the following procedure
to rebuild
the previous NetBackup environment.
Note:
If new hardware is required, make sure that the devices contain
drives
capable of reading the media and that the drive controllers are
capable of
mounting the drives.
1. Install NetBackup.
2. Configure the devices necessary to read the media listed above.
3. Inventory the media.
4. Make sure that the master server can access the attached DR image
file.
Start the NetBackup Recovery Wizard from the NetBackup Administration
Console. Or, start the wizard from a command line by entering
bprecover
-wizard.
Disaster Recovery Procedure without the DR Image File
NOTE: ONLY ATTEMPT THIS AS A LAST RESORT
If you do not have the attachment included with this email, use the
following
instructions to recover your catalog:
1. Install NetBackup.
2. Configure the devices necessary to read the media listed above.
3. Inventory the media.
4. Run:
bpimport
-create_db_info [-server name] -id X01234
5. Go to the following directory to find the DR image file
xxpolicy_1205238288_INCR:
/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/xxmaster/1205000000/tmp
6. Delete the other files in the directory.
7. Open xxpolicy_1205238288_INCR file and find the BACKUP_ID
(for example: xxmaster_1205238288).
8. Run:
bpimport
[-server name] -backupid xxmaster_1205238288
9. Run:
bprestore
-T -w [-L progress_log] -C xxmaster -t 35 -p xxpolicy -X -
s 1205238288 -e 1205238288 /
10. Run the BAR user interface to restore the remaining image database
if the DR image is a result of an incremental backup.
11. To recover the NetBackup relational database, run:
bprecover
-r -nbdb
12. Stop and Start NetBackup
13. Configure the devices if any device has changed since the last
backup.
14. To make sure the volume information is updated, inventory the media
to update the NetBackup database.
