    OK .. so as it is Windows you can easliy move just a few clients or the entire db directory.

    I would advise that if a drive is to be SAN based it is still mapped and mounted locally as a new drive letter

    So if you catalogs are currently on C:\ we can move them to say E:\

    So for one client at a time (very straight forward) : http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH135546

    For the whole db directory look at the text pasted in this discussion by Martin (mph999) - based on a link i provided which seems to have dissapeared from the support site!:

    Do make sure you have a catalog backup taken first while no jobs are running and that NetBackup is fully down before doing either proceedure.
