[Veritas-bu] bpbackupdb confirmation

 I  also ran into this problem. Veritas is also not much of help.
 I can do a manual catalog backup  from the media server but not from the 
master (says configuration information not found). bprd runs on the master and 
bpbackupdb runs from the media server. I have to stop bprd (also halt 
duplications) before I start the catalog backup from the media server.  Veritas 
support team told me to run rsh on bpbackupdb from master to media server(due 
to security reasons rsh is disabled   I can't do NetBackup scheduled catalog 
backup as my backup window has four sessions( servers in different 
timezones).), otherwise I will end up with four catalog backup tapes. Now I am 
in a limbo, no where to go.
