/usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/client_name
(where client_name is the name of the host you are trying to restore data from)
In there will be directories based on the "ctime" the backup was originally taken. The directory names will by something like 1234000000, where 1234 are the first 4 digits of the ctime.
In that directory will be a *FULL file for each backup image taken in that perioud (that hasn't since expired). The FRAG records in that file will tell you what tape/s the backup is on. Asssuming you have another running NBU system, you can import that tape.
However, I find it easier just to copy the *FULL and *.f or *.f.Z file across to the new server.
If you elect to just copy the catalog files over, you'll need the following line in bp.conf
FORCE_RESTORE_MEDIA_SERVER = old new
(where "old" is the old media server name which is listed in the *FULL file mentioned above, and new is the new server with access to the LTO3 tape drive).
Having said all that, if the expiration date of the backup has passed, these catalog files will probably be gone.
Good luck!

Update:
I actually found the old server but it won't boot (redhat 7.1)
I was able to mount the filesystems to try and grab the catalog. Where could I look?
i have access to /usr/openv/netbackup
thanks
