No i only took one backup and it is 17 gigs

[rmvg@shoemasters hot_backup]$ du -h --max-depth=1
17G ./2005-12-21_19-58-55
25G .

here are the guts of the dated dir some accounts are huge but when i check the contents there are only a couple of messages. For example rwss920@redwingshoes.ca the guy barly even uses his email and has a max quota of 250m yet the backup is 3.3G. Strange heh

du -h --max-depth=1
I'm guessing you get something like this:
Code:
4.25G    ./2005-12-13_13-33-27
4.25G    ./2005-12-14_15-29-20
4.25G    ./2005-12-14_15-32-32
4.25G    ./2005-12-14_16-22-23
Each directory inside of backup_dir is named with the date and time that the backup was started. For example, the first backup was started on December 13, 2005 at 1:33 PM.

If you need to clear some space, you can delete the older backups like this:
Code:
rm -rf /path/to/your/hot_backup/2005-12-13_13-33-27
