Hello, Since converting to ESA1.1 and VMBackup/e R1.0A (from XA SP2.1 and
VMBackup 5.3a) I notice that the catalog disk utilization has dropped
from ca. 92% for XA to ca. 61% on ESA.  What I see each weekend is that
as I run a full dump and an old catalog is discarded and replaced by
a new catalog, the utilization drops ca. 5%.

I'm curious as to whether anyone else who has converted to VMBackup/E
is seeing a smaller 'catalog'.  As far as I know I have not changed
any configuration records.  I keep my full dump catalogs for 8 weeks
(56 days) and keep the detail information at the file level.  I do not
do any catalog condensing.
