To increase availability, NetBackup provides a two-tier approach to protect the MSDP catalog, as follows:

Daily shadow copies

NetBackup automatically creates copies of the MSDP catalog.

See About the MSDP shadow catalog.

Catalog backup policy

Veritas provides a utility that you can use to configure a NetBackup policy that backs up the MSDP catalog.

See About the MSDP catalog backup policy.
