FWIW, in NBU 6 hot catalogue backups are the recommended way to go and a pool called CatalogBackup gets created especially for that purpose. We therefore just use NetBackup for the normal data tapes and it is fed from a scratch pool.
Since we use the vault option we also have a VaultCatalogue and a VaultData pool.
