Importing a Catalog Protection

If Catalog Protection is not configured, you will see Import Catalog option. You can use Import Catalog option to restore RMC from an existing catalog. For example, if you have a new appliance set up and you already have protected catalogs available, you can use this option to import an existing catalog from the remote target.
