If NetBackup detects corruption in the MSDP catalog, the Deduplication Manager recovers the catalog automatically from the most recent shadow copy. That recovery process also plays a transaction log so that the recovered MSDP catalog is current.
Although the shadow copy recovery process is automatic, a recovery procedure is available if you need to recover from a shadow copy manually.
