Hi John, If this is causing issues with your backups - what do you intend to do once you identify the offending file/directory...delete the big files, not back up that directory/partition? How are the files being transferred? If it's FTP or Samba, you can probably setup a system to watch the logs and flag any files over a certain size. Maybe a cron job that e-mails you the results every day?
