I’ve been fighting my snapshots ballooning out in size. It got to 230GB and I deleted the logs and a bunch of files that Transmission had partially downloaded. That took it down to 200MB or so but now it’s back up to 66GB
The snapshots page just gives you an overall size.
The google drive backup addon is a little more helpful in that it gives the overall size and then tries to give you the size of each addon, but they aren’t correct as none of this adds up to 66GB
I uncompress the snapshot with winrar or 7zip and use WinDirStat to inspect the uncompressed snapshot.
I can almost guarantee your issue is esphome. And you don’t need to back it up. All the files you need to recover this are in your config folder.
The issue is that each ESP device build generates thousands of small files. Each one of these files takes up a full disk allocation unit. So while the total size of all the files may be small the space occupied on the disk can be huge.
Pulled the backup down and took it apart. Turns out it was having my NAS mounted as a folder in /share. so I could use Transmission and motioneye with it. It used to not follow that link, but now it does and it was trying to backup my entire NAS, then failing part way through.
