@Matthias

strangely, indeed.
du delivers a roughly estimation, not an exact value. But we are speaking
about 140GB vs 540GB.

1) "du" and GUI use the same directory? I have /var/lib/backuppc and
not /var/data/backuppc.

2) There are no extra files from you on your /var/data/backuppc? I don't
know how the GUI calculates the usage of space.

1) The /var/data/backuppc is where I have the partition mounted and then
it's symlinked to the /var/lib/backuppc folder.

2) No there are no extra files in that directory.  If I run the du -xsmh
on the /var/lib/backuppc/cpool directory I get back 540GB.

That's what I though too.  There appears to be no files in the
/var/lib/backuppc/trash directory though.

Joe.
