You could also archive older portions of the catalog to reduce it's
size. Lookup catarc in the admin guide and it will describe the
process. I have tested it and archive and recovery works well.

You could also compress the catalog, not a good thing to do, but the
option is available. I see no problem though moving it to a NAS, as
long as you shutdown all of the NB services, etc before you move the
/usr/openv/netbackup/../db directory to the NAS.=20

I would think veritas support would not recommend this or condone it,

you have no other choice, make sure you have the underlying network

the drives are=20
on the filer). Is that link resilient, if solaris ipmp, if linux
bonding, if Windows ???.
Bottom line is that you are going to tie your backup, or more
importantly, restore
to a separate infrastructure, not that this is right or wrong, you just
need to=20
think about the ramifications. Is the NetApp clustered? Replicated?
Also, on nbu server startup, make sure that the mount is there before
NBU
starts. If you are running out of catalog space, then take note of how=20
that catalog backups run and what impact that will have. Also, there
may
need to be some tuning if this is NFS for the mount, such as turning off
acl checks, making it run over tcp, make sure the mount is hard but

If this were to work, then it would give you clustering capabilities as
well as
an interesting DR solution.
