OK,

So my server went bonkers during backup again last night. I got a response from my server admin, but it didn't work. However, maybe what he said someone will have a clue what is going on? This was his response:

Hello,

I found a file in /var/lib/mlocate that is used as a db for file searches that was consuming 14G. I moved it to /backup just in case it is needed and stopped the daily scheduled task that updates the db to see if this resolves your problem.

Please keep an eye on it and let us know if you continue to have issues.

Thanks,
