If you browse a backup in the web interface you can follow the 'history' 
link near the top to see which versions were picked up the the runs 
still on the machine.

Or, you might find it faster to cd to the pc/backup_number directory in 
terminal mode and walk down the trees of incremental numbers doing 'du 
-s *' to find the directories and then files that are changing and 
taking a lot of space.  The directory and filenames there are encoded 
(start with f and /=%2f) but easy enough to understand.
