Hi Jonathan I thought Symantec did not support compressed volumes on a Catalog? But good to hear you got it working. Simon

I considered custom writing my own in .net but never got around to it. Why not simply compress the entire DR volume? You'll take a slight performance hit come DR time, but you probably don't need the entire catalog at that point anyway. I only copy the last 3 weeks of backups to DR for hot restores. The rest of the images will be restored cold from the most recent catalog backup. I use the following command run from a scheduled task on my masters. robocopy "D:\Program Files\VERITAS\NetBackup\db\images" <target unc> /S /ZB /PURGE /MAXAGE:21 /TBD /R:3 /W:3 /LOG:<path to log file> /XD tmp Be sure to exclude tmp folders, these are where running backups write their image files. If you try to robocopy an image that is being generated you will kill the backup. Once the image is complete, it will be moved to the appropriate subfolder. Btw, I've tested this numerous times in DR scenarios and it has never failed. -Jonathan From: veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu [mailto:veritas-bu-boun...@mailman.eng.auburn.edu] On Behalf Of pranav batra Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2010 11:51 AM To: Veritas Subject: [Veritas-bu] Catalog Copy ???////?/ Hello Geeks, Need help on one issue. We have a catalog of aroung 250 gb. Its on a F drive which is coming from SAN. This drive is composed of 3 luns. Now for DR purpose we want the data to copy from this drive to another drive that will be composed of a single lun of 300 Gb. Now we used a robocopy method to copy this data:-But this has a bug that it does not retain the compression of files. What other method you suggest to copy the data to other drive?????
