My Catalogue is around 29GB - alot of it is down to:
Type of files - if the file server stores thousands and millions of files
time of the images expiring!
The amount of clients you have
type of backups!
But I dont think its that bad - will probably grow though

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Typical catalog sizes?
I currently backup approx 40 servers of Solaris, Windows, and Linux. I was
poking around on the backup server the other day which contains the catalog
and i saw that it was at 23 gigs. Is this normal? We are a development
shop and have what I would consider more 'files per server' than usual,
especially on the older Solaris machines used for software development, but
23 gigs seems a bit over the top. It doesn't appear to be related to the
amount of data on each machine, because some of the servers with the most
data are also the smallest in size in the catalog. As an example a machine
that currently has almost 2TB of storage is taking up 500meg of catalog, but
another with less than 40gigs of storage is taking up 2GB of catalog. This
doesn't appear to be related to the platform as the linux and windows
machines exibit the same catalog/storage relationships. Browsing through
backups from the java console and backups of the db itself s! eem to be
pretty quick.
My question is do most of you see catalogs of sizes like this? Our overall
raw diskspace would be around 5 or 6 TB i guess. This catalog is only about
3 months old so far and I only have another 20gigs on that volume left...
Machine is NB 5.1MP3 running on Solaris 10 on SunV240, all clients are 5.1
also.
Thanks
John
