We have a catalog of aroung 250 gb.
Its on a F drive which is coming from SAN.
This drive is composed of 3 luns.

Now for DR purpose we want the data to copy from this drive to another drive that will be composed of a single lun of 300 Gb.

Now we used a robocopy method to copy this data:-But this has a bug that it does not retain the compression of files.

What other method you suggest to copy the data to other drive?????

NetBackup 7 gives you a FREE license to do catalog replication using Symantec's RealTime product. This is a fully supported method of giving you DR for your catalog unlike any robocopy or rsync solution you can put together.

From an FAQ at http://www.zones.com/images/pdf/symantec_netbackup7_faq.pdf

Q. What are the advantages of using NetBackup RealTime 7 with NetBackup?
A. NetBackup RealTime is part of the NetBackup platform and can be sold as a standalone product or as an add-on option to an existing NetBackup environment. NetBackup RealTime provides replication and continuous data protection (CDP) for critical applications to help meet tight recovery and disaster recovery objectives. Because RealTime protects continuously, it eliminates the need for a backup window, yet allows administrators to recover to the latest second or to any point in
time—which means near-zero data loss. The benefit of using the two together is that it brings together backup, CDP, live
replication and application-consistent protection, all in one, for the most comprehensive protection possible.

Q: You now offer free RealTime 7 replication to protect the NetBackup catalog. Why?
A. Because recovery cannot begin without the system that does recovery, protecting the NetBackup catalog is a critical part of any disaster recovery plan—and we felt that this protection was too vital a resource for our customers to charge for it. With Symantec NetBackup RealTime™, a user can replicate any NetBackup catalog to a remote disaster recovery (DR) location. This eliminates the need to do hot catalog backups to tape and ship the tapes off site. To make this easy, detailed setup documentation and the RealTime installation DVD are included with every NetBackup 7 DVD media kit or download.
