1. When enabling collocation for a group of servers, does a full

William -
There is no change in Incremental backup behavior because of
collocation:
if an object is in the target storage pool already, it will not be
backed
up again, regardless of how the storage pool is arranged.
2. Is there a way to collocate data already backed up onto fewer
volumes?
All subsequent data movement within the storage pool (reclamation,
Move Data, Move Nodedata) will observe the collocation rule.
The Admin Guide has good info on this.
