Restoring from the external MSDP catalog backup

MSDP instance does not have NetBackup client, so the catalog image cannot be restored to a corrupted MSDP instance directly. Instead, the MSDP catalog backup must be restored to any NetBackup media server first. Then, it can be copied to the MSDP instance from the media server.
