The first question we should as is "Does BackupPC's pool usage report actual

I have a fairly large (171 hosts) backup environment that seems to
be using rather more disk than it should.
GUI says: Pool is 3055.59GB comprising 7361233 files and 4369
directories (as of 9/16 01:33),
df says:
FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/local-backups
