That's nice, but it doesn't do much for those of us with large catalogs
and short retentions.  I've got 20GB catalogs for backups that only have
a 3-month retention.  Archiving the catalog won't help me much and make
it more difficult to restore the data since I have to restore the
catalog first.

What other options do I have?
