Hello John,=20
23 gig is not too bad. The space used as others have written, depends on =
the number of files backed up, which depends on how many files you have, =
how many times you back them up, and how long you retain them.=20
We have one catalog that is over 600gig. The only issue is if we ever =
have to recover the catalog, it will be a little while.=20

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Typical catalog sizes?
I currently backup approx 40 servers of Solaris, Windows, and Linux. =
I was poking around on the backup server the other day which contains =
the catalog and i saw that it was at 23 gigs. Is this normal? We are a =
development shop and have what I would consider more 'files per server' =
than usual, especially on the older Solaris machines used for software =
development, but 23 gigs seems a bit over the top. It doesn't appear to =
be related to the amount of data on each machine, because some of the =
servers with the most data are also the smallest in size in the catalog. =
As an example a machine that currently has almost 2TB of storage is =
taking up 500meg of catalog, but another with less than 40gigs of =
storage is taking up 2GB of catalog. This doesn't appear to be related =
to the platform as the linux and windows machines exibit the same =
catalog/storage relationships. Browsing through backups from the java =
console and backups of the db itself s! eem to be pretty quick. =20
My question is do most of you see catalogs of sizes like this? Our =
overall raw diskspace would be around 5 or 6 TB i guess. This catalog is =
only about 3 months old so far and I only have another 20gigs on that =
volume left...
Machine is NB 5.1MP3 running on Solaris 10 on SunV240, all clients are =
5.1 also.
Thanks
John
