Hi Kim, We've had volumes as large as 300gb in the past during phases of rapid data collection. While they work for accessing data, vos operations tend to time out on excessively large (somewhere above 100gb IIRC) volumes. Backups can become problematic past this point, and performance seems to take a hit as well.
I try to keep volumes under 20gb these days, and prefer to keep them under 2gb if possible. The largest volume we currently have online is about 60gb. We don't have a problem backing it up, although I'd probably copy the data to a new volume rather than attempting a "vos move" on it if I had to take the partition offline.
