NetBackup Catalog size on Disk
Hi,
NetBackup Catalog Size on disk in my environment is around 100 GB and when I do a catalog backup, it backs up around 150 GB.
Is it because of a fragmented disk in Windows?
Is it advisory to do Defragmentation of the Disk in which NetBackup catalog reside?
NBU version : 6.5.5
OS : Windows 2003 SP2.
I agree with the above excellent posts - the main data is in the images directory - it also backs up the EMM and BMR etc. databases but generally there would not be very large
Check in Windows Explorer to make sure that the file system your catalog is on, or at least the images or sub folders, as not using file system compression - not a good idea for the catalog area
Hope this helps
