it is highly recommended to setup catalog hot/cold backup.
Alternatively, using unix native tools like cp, tar you you can make copy of directories containing catalog (NB 6.5) :
/usr/openv/netbackup/db
/usr/openv/var/global
/usr/openv/db/data
it is important that NB is stopped or make sure that no client backups are running.
