Hi,
BackupPC: version 3.0.0beta3
OS: FC5
Much to my horror last night I discovered that I ran out of disk space
on my backup server back in October (thankfully I did not learn this
the hard way). But I can't for the life of me figure out where it's
gone. Perhaps my understanding of BackupPC is at fault.
I have 2 servers, 2 laptops and an external drive backing up through
BackupPC. Disk-wise I have 230+ GB usable in a RAID 5 array, with
less than 1 GB being used by the OS and misc other files (the server
is dedicated to backup). Here is what the BackupPC admin page is
showing me for File Size/Count Reuse Summary for each host:

My understanding was that once file ABCD was stored, as long as it
never changed it would never be stored again, even across machines, if
the file was identical. So even thought backup #172 is a full backup,
it's not storing a full backup's worth of files, only the files that
have changed. If that's not the case, then it's no wonder I've run
out of disk space, but I remember exchanging several emails on this
list a year ago and that was my understanding.
So, on the assumption that my understanding is correct, how do I go
about figuring out what's using up my disk space? Many thanks for the
help and this very fine program!
