9.1D is, of course, ancient, obsolete and unsupported. You should upgrade to at least 9.1E04.
Two extents is wrong.
You should always have at least 4. 8 is better.
So step #1 would be to add a couple more extents.
Depending on your OS you could also enable large files.
I am guessing, however, that your real problem is that you do not really understand after-imaging and that you have no process in place to automatically switch extents and archive the full extents to an external location on a regular schedule (like every 15 minutes). You are probably only switching extents when you backup (look in your .lg file to see how often you switch extents). Am I right?
This presentation should answer a lot of questions about how AI works and how you should set it up.
