I am looking at the same thing.

I currently have a working master at my DR site.

And once a day I replicate the db/images up to a separate directory on my DR 
master.
( I am using the restore without import method - also known as Partial catalog 
recovery)

But right now I just rdist it up once a day.  So if I lost my master here 
before the rdist runs I will not have the current db/images.

So I am also looking at using Real Time (as it is free for the catalog)  to see 
if I can get it to put it into a different directory on my DR master so I can 
still do the restore without import method.  With Real Time it would always be 
current.

We're also looking at this although we already do something similar by 
replicating our catalog data using Data Domain appliances.  At time of disaster 
we spin up lights out master and media servers (same hostname and IP's as our 
production boxes) at our DR site and recover the catalog using the NBU GUI. 

As I understand it, the Realtime protection element manages this replication 
directly from inside Netbackup allowing quick recovery of your catalog 
information at time of disaster.

With our current setup, we can have the catalog restored within 25 minutes of 
getting connectivity to our remote data domain appliance.

I'm wondering if there would be a way to have a duplicate DRmaster running at 
our DR site and have the catalog data replicated to it using this feature ?

Planning a net new implementation of NBU7 - considering options for site DR for 
the  NBU7 Catalog/database.  Have not worked with Netbackup RealTime Protection 
- looking for feedback on whether it is a viable option/ worth the effort etc.
