Here are the file sizes (in date order):

7009019184 Apr 14 23:21 disk_0003
51149798   Apr 15 23:10 disk_0004
51159533   Apr 16 23:10 disk_0005
51167844   Apr 17 23:10 disk_0006
51177531   Apr 18 23:10 disk_0001
51182974   Apr 19 23:10 disk_0002

There shouldn't be 51M+ of updates every night, since these systems are not 
doing too much.  ?
