Simon,
I've used this a couple of times quite successfully - you just need
to be aware that selecting files to restore that are in the
compressed catalog will take longer. Apart from that its a really
good saving on disk space. You just need to chose a period after
which the chances of having a restore request (eg. 30-60days) offset
the extra time it takes to browse the image files.
You might also want to have a look at catalog archiving - I've used
this where data is a couple of years old and though its important to
keep it the actual lead time to restore it isn't that tight.
Rgds,
Henry
