Re: [BackupPC-users] Determine heavy-weight clients

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?
