Hi,

As someone familiar with Legato Networker 5.x index stability issues, I 
was concerned to learn that a Netbackup 3.4 master server I recently 
assumed responsibility for has a master server catalog size of 1.6 Gig due 
to NFS mounted backups.   In a Networker environment I would have made 
shrinking this a major priority to avoid likely headaches should a DR 
situation arise.  From those of you with more Netbackup experience, is the 
master catalog size a major issue in a DR situation?  Obviously it will 
impact the time needed to recover the master's catalog, but how likely is 
it to cause difficult to resolve issues due to corruption or other 
problems?

Thanks,
Chad
