Talk about scary situations . . . .

I was looking around at my server’s file structures today and noticed something funny - my hard drive usage had run up to 81% somehow. Not thinking too much about it, I reminded myself to check back again later to see if something was going on. An hour later, my drive was 84% full. 2 Hours later - 88% full. 3 hours later 93% full.

WE HAVE A PROBLEM HERE!

Turns out a temporary backup somehow went awry, and kept growing in size. When all was said and done, this file had approached almost 25GB!

Good thing we caught it and fixed the situation. That could have caused some MAJOR problems…..

Anyone else ever have something like this happen?
