Do you mean the NetBackup
Do you mean the NetBackup database or the images database?
If it is the NetBackup database have you been backing it up (which will truncate its logs)
If it is the Images then you can move them to another location - several tech notes about for this but let us know which first.
So please clarify exactly what is filling the drive as it could also be the netbackup logs?
Thanks

NBU
its where the catalog are kept
This is the location
“/opt/openv/netbakup/db/images"
There are two things you can
There are two things you can do
1. Use the ALTPATH for each image - lots of thread and tech notes for this and needs to be on a per client basis.
2. Move the entire set to a different location that has sufficient space. http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH69970

ALTPATH is only used for
ALTPATH is only used for Windows.
For Unix/Linux servers, do the following:
To move the image catalog
1 Check that no backups are in progress by running:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpps
2 Stop bprd by running:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd/bprdreq -terminate
3 Stop bpdbm by running:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpdbm -terminate
4 Create the directory in the new file system. For example:
mkdir /disk3/netbackup/db/images
5 Move the image catalog to the new location in the other file system.
6 Create a symbolic link from /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images to the new
location in the other file system.
......
7 Restart the request daemon, bprd, by running:
/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/initbprd
(Starting bprd will also restart bpdbm)

Handy NBU links
are you sure its the images
have you checked <installpath>/openv/logs as well?
the 7.0 install set the logging to 6 and could be making very large log files here.
I don't have to know how to spell....I work on Unix.
