We are leaning towards option 2 

@ken_zufall  Thanks!

What to do with our growing Catalog on the Master server?? 
I'd suggest using the bpcat* commands: 

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatarc 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatlist 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatres 
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bpcatrm 

We were able to cut our catalog from ~450GB to ~250GB. 


I have opened a Symantec ticket to see if they can assistance/have any opinion 
regarding this option...would like to know the pros/cons for the catalog archive
 

@BlueJay - yeah you're right that's a no no putting my catalog on a filer
