Hi all:

I am having an issue with backup growth. I have approx 100 hosts that
should be in steady state: all have 9 full backups and 14 incrementals
which are the maximum number of retained backups.

The amount of data being backed up shouldn't be varying much, but I
have been continually losing about 1-2G/day over the past month or so.

Does anyboody have any tools/tricks for auditing the backuppc pc
directory to figure out what files are using the additional space?

I have done some auditing and I see things like log files changing on
every backup, but the size is larger in some cases, smaller in others
so on average they have the same size for a given day.
