Understood... I keep telling my management why not give me a 1 TB mirrored
drive in my backup master since disk is so cheap now a days.. Heck I'm running
1 and 2 TB drives at home in my NAS units with Raid 5. Even some of my home
systems have mirrored 1 TB drives for the OS..
Right now we are constaintly trying to delete logs and other non-critical data
from the Master just to get through a Weekend Full backup. When you are
addresing close to 19 TB's on a weekend and then duplicating that same 19 TB's
the catalog is going to get bigger...
