While there may be a better way, my first thought would be to check the backup summary page for each host and look at backup durations (longer time should correlate with more data transferred) and/or the "new files" columns in the "File Size/Count Reuse Summary" section.

Hello,

has anyone written a tool to identify the hosts that contribute most
to recent pool size increase for v4? I see the data in pc/*/backups and I could extract the size of new files for each backup, then correlate with the time of the backup and then… With v3, it was possible to use command-line tools on the filesystem to identify the big directories, but v4 has changes the filesystem storage format to no longer allow this.

Background: we've been running BackupPC in a non-profit setup for
many years. Over the last couple of months, the backup pool size has sharply increased, and we're running out of space now, while there's no money to stock up on disk space… :/

We can't figure out why. So we'd love to figure out which host this
is on, and which directories are adding to the pool increase.

Any clues how to easily find this out, so we can assess the
situation, use BackupPC_deleteBackup as appropriate and possibly add
excludes?
