There is probably a good reason for the difference, but it would be nice to know why :slight_smile:

So disk usage is almost 400GB.

But if I do a complet backup (dietpi-backup) it adds up to 427GB

My guess is one shows GB and the other GiB.
427 Gigabyte are 397 Gibibyte.

From where did you get the 427 GB?

Maybe that is the diffrent in size.

The 427 “GB” showed up at 99.xx% when doing a complet new backup (dietpi-backup)
