"df" tells you how many bytes are available in unused sectors. "df -i" tells you how many inodes are available, when using file systems (such as ext2, ext3, etc.) that format partitions with a fixed maximum number of inodes. If you are backing up a lot of little files, you may run out of inodes before you run out of available sectors. If this is your problem, future backup partitions should be formatted with extra inodes. For example, my 1.5TB backup disk is currently at 80% data usage and 20% inode usage, but that is because I formatted the backup partition with 4x the normal number of inodes. In the past, I have run out of inodes, and at the time there were no available tools for efficiently copying data to reformatted partitions. Sigh.
