anyone know the rule, how to plan space for indexes? Looks like
something has changed since older versions of NetBackup.
I don't think anything has changed. The challenge in planning is that the catalog size is based on number of files you're backing up, not the size of the files. If you back up a lot of small files, your catalog will be much larger than the site that backs up the same amount of disk space containint large databases. The longer the retentions, the more likely it is that you'll need a larger catalog for backing up the same amount of disk space.
The golden rule to remember is to never, ever fill your catalog disk. Use a different file system for your logs since they're the most likely thing to fill the disk.
