I presume that it is your logs that are the issue?

Unless you've already changed it from default, the NB image database can also reside in the  /opt filesystem.

Hi,

    I have changed the images from /opt to storage already. the images are not at all a problem This is my new DC.And No backups are running now.Still the logs writing ratio is high.

Have you somewhere you can move the logs to then?
Delete some of the old legacy logs? (We had to do this temporarily when our clean-up procedures weren't working)
Robust logging, log file rotation etc etc are all included in the T/N's I quoted earlier, plus the following:

Also, can you see which logs are the main culprits?

Please check the vxlogs under /usr/openv/netbakcup/logs, under this directory too many logs are generated, these can be managed.
