Déjà Dup

half GB used up after the backup?

Asked by ceg

Just noticed the free space on "/" decreased by half a GB after DD was done backing up the /home dir stored on that filesystem to an external location.

Are caches, tmp files or logs created that large? (backed up ~100GB of user files)

It's possible? I know that the cache files duplicity keeps can get large. How big is ~/.cache/deja-dup?

du -h ~/.cache/deja-dup
861M /home/<user>/.cache/deja-dup

Ok, then this also explains the first half GB. Thank you!
