 As far as I know the image format has not change since it went binary
in 4.5. So the /image directory would be about the same regardless of
which version you use.

Would logs be included in the catalog backup?  I guess that could help
explain the growth in catalog size from 17GB to a conservative estimate
of 500GB.  Surely growth of the catalog by 3000% would be written in RED
in the upgrade manual.  One of the biggest applications here is E-mail
which has millions and millions of files. There are also plenty of
databases.
So probably an average mix of applications get a backup.  I got to
believe the estimate is inflated unless another data center has
experienced so much catalog growth in the Netbackup 6.0 conversion.
