Yesterday I wanted to update Mastodon on #Yunohost, which resulted in a 55 GB pre-upgrade backup file. The instance itself had only about 12 GB in total.
I guess I'll spend the next hour trying to figure out what happened there.
Since the original VPS didn't have enough disk space left to restore the backup, I moved the tar to a different VPS/Yunohost, did the restore there and ran a tootctl media usage on it.
Turns out that there were about 40 GB of attachments sometime during the last 2 days.
tootctl media remove to the rescue. New backup, re-transfer to the original server and Bob's your uncle.
