If you backed up the NetBackup catalogs to a disk and that disk is intact, you can recover
the catalogs as follows:
Note If this disk has failed then you must resort to backups of this disk that have gone to
another server. If you have not backed up the NetBackup catalogs to another server,
you must use the NetBackup Import Images feature to re-add the image
information to the catalogs. See the NetBackup System Administrator’s Guide for Windows
for instructions.
1. Use the NetBackup Activity Monitor, or the Services application in the Windows
Control Panel, to stop the following services:
◆ NetBackup Request Manager service
◆ NetBackup Database Manager service
◆ NetBackup Device Manager service
◆ NetBackup Volume Manager service
2. Execute the bprecover command to recover the catalogs.

catalogs from disk path D:\apps\dbbackup on Figure 5.
bprecover -r 1 -dpath D:\apps\dbbackup
