Don,

I had a very similar issue and it dealt with the location of the images.
My disk guys gave me more space and configured the /usr/openv file
system to be RAID 5 concatenated!  So my catalog went from 1 hour to 5
hours!  Well then relayed out the file system and now it is back down to
1 hour.

So, I would check the iostats on the file system that contains all the
images.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] Slow catalog backups

We recently replaced the hardware that our master server runs on. We
went from a V880 running Solaris 8 to a T2000 running Solaris 10. We're
running Netbackup 5.1MP4. Our catalog backups used to take no more than
2 hours to complete, now they're running 3 hours and longer. The normal
OS backups of the master server seem to run just fine, it's only when we
backup the catalog that we notice a slow down.

Does anyone have any ideas?
