Well, generally this is due to log files growing, new apps installed, new data managed, ... Personaly I do the analysis on the original system with du -sh /* e.g. to start with and then go deeper in the tree to find where the "issue" is. >Mondorescue in interactive mode shows me the contents, but not the size >(e.g. accumulated size for folders), so that's not really usable. Is the >size in some of the indexes on the media, so I can analyze that (using >e.g. some simple script)? Or any other hint where to start looking? The only info given is around big files in the log or in the archives/biggielist.txt on the media. You may indeed have new big files (sparse files are perfect candidates, think to -R option then) Indeed there is no size kept for directories, because that's not used internally either.
