Configuring Catalog Backups
The easiest way to configure NetBackup catalog backups is to use the Catalog Backup Wizard. This wizard guides you through the configuration process, simplifying it by automatically choosing settings that are good for most configurations. If you are modifying an existing configuration or want access to all available configuration settings, use the manual method. The following sections explain both the wizard and the manual method.

Launch the NetBackup Catalog Backup Wizard by clicking Configure the Catalog Backup in the right pane. The wizard is visible when either Master Server or NetBackup Management is selected in the left pane.
Click Help within any wizard screen for more information on the wizard settings.
