RE: reducing db size in backup exec 10d?
Is it the size of the BEDB itself, or is it the \Catalogs directory that is causing problems?
If this response answers your concern, please mark it as a "solution"
The Size of the BEDB (Backup Exec Database) Log file BEDB_LOG.LD

Catalog Folder
The catalog folder is five gb, on other servers it is just under one half a gb. So I suspect the size of the catalog folder is the culprit in this case.
What are my options?
Either you move the Catalogs
Either you move the Catalogs to a different location OR you may choose to truncate catalogs

RE: Either you move the Catalogs
if you choose to truncate the catalogs, be aware that you will need to re-catalog any affected media before being able to restore from them.
Not a deal killer by any means, but something to bear in mind
