Hi Networker Listserv,

I have never posted here before but have gotten tons of usefull information
over the years from this list.   So I thought I'd ask the question here
before diving in on my server...

I have a Solaris server/storage node running Networker 7.2.2 - I currently
have 4 1.2TB adv_file on my primary backup pool for this server.  These file
systems holding about 5 days of backups.  I know I could get more onto these
if I had 1 x 4.8TB filesystem, this would also avoid a few other pesky
problems like a single volume filling up.  So the only way I can figure out
how to do this on Solaris is to use Veritas Volume Manager and VXFS - I
would stage all the data off one of my adv_file volumes to tape, then using
that device I could create a veritas volume - and start staging data from
the second volume to it - then concatenate the empty second volume on to the
first   volume, I would keep doing this till I had all 4 volumes together.  

Is there anyone running with this sort of a configuration - do you see any
pitfalls that I might be missing in this.  

Thanks in advance for any help.
