You can delete the backend.log file to free up space on your system so you can upgrade it.
FYI, the log file was fixed in version Network Analyzer version 2R1.0 released on 03/04/2015 log rotations were added so upgrading should fix it for you.

Added daily log rotation for backend.log and 7 days to be kept -JO

thank you!!
