Clean up your filesystems. Every cleanup on backupped filesystems will have impact on the size of your ignite backup.

For instance the patch-undo database (command: cleanup -c 1)

Or check out
- /root/.sh_history being large file or a directory containing LOTS of files
- /var/preserve (containing broken-of vi data, ready for recovery)
- /var/spool/mail
- /var/adm/wtmp
- /var/adm/syslog/*

You might also think about skipping some of these directories/files during the ignite backup. In most cases you're not interested in /var/preserve or /var/adm/syslog anyway on a ignite recovered filesystem...

Do you have non OS specific items in vg00 ?

If so move them to there own filesystems.
