| Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on

Yes, but it's easier to watch it go down after each backup.
Assuming nothing else is consuming space on this partition.

Nonono. Do this:
du -ks *
not
du -ks .

Ah. I don't loop. I just let it all fill up.

Indeed. It reminds me of a cartoon drawing I once saw. It was called the Last
Act of Defiance and showed a striking eagle, caricatured beyond all reason,
whose vastly exaggerated talons were but inches from a very small mouse. The
mouse, with true style, was simply standing there giving the eagle the finger.
