[Box Backup] managing disk space

[boxbackup@fluffy.co.uk]

I have such a script written in Perl, but it is actually more general than
that. I would be happy to send it to you if you want. I run it on the
server.

However, whenever the client cannot backup, it logs the error on the
client, so you can check there as well.
