Did you perhaps tell it to back up the local machine without excluding its own 
storage area?  Normally you would want to mount a separate drive/partition for 
the backup storage.

It is a directory of files, not a single big file.

If you installed a version packaged for your distribution, it will depend on 
the 
package setup - I think most use /var/lib/backuppc or something like that.  If 
you installed from the sourceforge tarball it might be /opt/backuppc but you 
would have had a chance to change it.  Anyway, one way to find where space is 
being consumed  is to go through the filesystem starting at /, doing 'du -s *', 
noting the space used by each subdirectory listed, cd'ing into a large one, and 
repeating the process until you find where the files are.
