Wow! That's pretty full and looks like your problem has been found.

The disk free (df) command told you that, and the disk used (du) command
can tell you where all that space is being used. An easy way to get a
full summary is:

du -shx /*

Excellent suggestion.  My bet is you'll find a large file name something like 
/dev/nul (missing letter) or a mis-named backup device file.

Since root seems to be about 50 gb, you could also restrict your search for 
"large" files.  E.g., larger than 1 GB files:

find / -xdev -size +1G -ls

The disturbing thing is that deleting files seems to have not solved the issue, 
so perhaps the backup software is starting up on boot and filling the 
filesystem each time.  You could search for files modified in the last day via:

find / -xdev -mtime -1 -ls

Or, touch a file, such as 'touch /stamp', and look for files modified after the 
timestamp:

find / -xdev -newer /stamp -ls

Good luck!
