Don't you have something like logwatch on your system? RedHat/Fedora/ CentOS has logwatch by default and I believe Debian has a similar package (forgot the name). logwatch tells you about diskspace, amongst other problems or unusual things it finds on your system.
I recommend going even further and implementing a proper monitoring solution (munin is pretty nice and very easy to setup, though Nagios/ ZABBIX/ZenOSS is even more flexible).
38% used on the /shared mountpoint, 174G available its simple but effective. this is an old version, i have since moved to a more complex script to only mail me over 80% i will put this on the wiki http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.netYou guy's are really responsive, thanks a lot. Btw. I like the idea of a backuppc wiki very much !
I don't really know if I like the idea of these general sysadmin issues on the BackupPC-specific wiki. Maybe, if there was a page/ section clearly marked as such, but I surely hope people are not going to add everything they know/learn about system administration on the BackupPC wiki. Let's try and keep it on topic. Of course it is important to know when your BackupPC array runs out of space, but this is true for every partition/system, so it doesn't have a lot to do with BackupPC in my opinion.
