Catalog size calculation is a little more entailed than that. It is dependent 
on the amount you backup, the number of files and the retention level. If you 
save stuff infinitely then you need to adjust your numbers up same thing if you 
are backing up millions of tiny files. I backup about 20TB a day and retain 
about a petabyte in total stored data, but only have a 40gb catalog.

Hi,

I am trying to correctly size catalog space and was wondering what all of 
you are seeing with your catalog sizes.  Generally it would be 2-4% of total 
data being backed up = 1Tb data = 20-40G catalog...is this what you are 
seeing?

Thanks

Jennifer
