Hello,
thanks for explanation, but how I can check in backuppc, which user
uses how much disk space of my backuppc storage? This way File Size counter
is absolutelly buggy.
I need to check, which backup uses most of my space and need to find,
where I should exclude more files. But there is no information, which
I can use. New files are only new files, doesn't count how much files
there are. In Total files hardlinked files are counter multiple times,
which ends in 10x more space usage in this counter like it's real.
This way total files counter is useless, only useful for windows users,
which don't use hardlinks.
