[Veritas-bu] Recommendation for filesystem layout of backup s erver.

Right, and in the past the docs have been a 'rough 
rule' since it all depends on many variables.

I've always thought that we should have shortened that 
section in the manual on db spacing to "give the 
imagedb as much space as you possibly can, because it 
will GROW."

At least this is a unix install and growing is somewhat 
reasonable, if it was NT I'd have other suggestions for 
you.
