What version NBU? If you were at 6, do you know if you were doing only
hot, only cold, or both types of catalog backups?

Best is to reinstall netbackup so that it is working. Especially if you
have a jukebox. Once done, if you don't have a record of the catalog
tapes, you'll have to search your tape collection for them. For cold
catalogs, use 'bprecover -l' on all of the media until you find your
most recent catalog tape. Then you can use bprecover to recover from
it. If netbackup is running, you can run 'bprecover -l' in a loop.

Without a record, you have to search the tapes you have access to. If
you haven't changed the catalog tapes lately and you're using barcodes,
I'd start at the lowest numbers and work up. I've walked into a lot of
sites where it was never rotated. So the catalog tapes were XXX000 and
XXX001. Compare the dates and recover from the most recent one.
If you're doing hot catalog backups, the procedure is different.
