Bill, You wonn't see any storage pool volume difference between DYNAMIC and SHRDYNAMIC. You will likely see a difference in the number of bytes transferred because we're going to transfer the same wortheless data across the network 4 times instead of once.
I say worthless because the data is changing and you're not likely to be able to get a restore that will work. What kind of database is this, and have you tried to restore it and bring up the application? I've only found one database in my many installs where I could safely use DYNAMIC or SHRDYNAMIC.

We used to back it up with DYNAMIC and she is saying the SHRDYNAMIC has made the backup 9x as big (from 10 GB to 95 GB). Is this correct?
