Thanks Simon for your incredible fast response :-) The purpose of my 
question is that I have to plan disk space used by indexes (catalog) for 
NetBackup environment. Estimated size of data under NetBackup protection 
is 110 TB (tera bytes). All I know is that file size in this environment 
is "typical" or "medium in size", whatever it means.

My first estimation was 1% of 110TB, but after I noticed that catalog 
consumes much more space than expected I increased my estimation to 3%.

regards,

Darek
