  I'm on windows not unix.  I don't see a du.exe.  Is it called something
else?

        So how big can a catalog get?  And what happens if you don't have
retention levels i.e. if you never overwrite data?

        No



        The catalog contains your backup image information.  Purging the
catalog by deleting files will cause database corruption.  The only way to
shrink your catalog is to utilize catalog compression or change your backup
policies to a lower retention level.  Daily, the catalog is purged via NBU
to remove expired backup image information.

          Should the catalog be purged?  It is taking up alot of space on
the disk.
