rootfs increases by 5 to 10% during USB backup
Is it common behaviour that the rootfs size increases by 5 to 10% during a > 4 TB size backup to an external USB 3 drive? After the backup is finished, the size returns to the previous state, luckely....

Yes, that's probably a better alternative. Have not worked with robocopy before. Should look into that. But I'm having issues with the speed of copying over the network, so probably need to fix that first.

Good! They should all do that :)
