I use Robocopy alot, but I feel that the product may have
been ill-advised by someone who thought we needed the product, when clearly we
have proven this is not the case.
Robocopy and Diskpart :-) works like a
charm!

That's because you're a Windows guy and the product certainly doesn't
function on Windows like it does on Unix. If you're a Unix guy, you'll see
the limitations of Windows and its lack of a volume manager very
quickly.
My catalog is in a volume manager and yes, we've grown
it. We've bounced a lot of our storage around between SAN frames as
well as expanded volumes. On the other hand, my Windows admins do nothing
but bitch and moan when they have to do the same thing. Linux, HP-UX,
Solaris, VMS - all move data nicely around. Windows, well, just say
no.
Robocopy is not an alternative to a volume manager

Re: [Veritas-bu] NetBackup 6.5 index size Build your catalog filesytem
using a Logical Volume Manager, such as Veritas Volume Manager (Storage
Foundations) on a SAN attached LUN. As your catalog grows you can grow both
the LUN and the filesystem hot, without an outage. Or, if you have
availability of a recent Enterprise class array such as the HDS USP-V, you can
build it on a DP (Dynamic provisioned) LUN (aka thin provisioning) The
array presents your server with a large fixed size LUN, even several
terabytes, but only occupies as much disk space as needed, initially, then
auto allocates disk as needed. Personally, I'd just go the volume
manager route. Paul
