Thanks for the reply,

That sounds plausible. I just checked the server and housekeeping is still
running. Same kind of messages in the log as the one i previously attached.
One file is removed every couple of minutes, which could take a very long
while if there are tens or even hundreds of thousands of files to be
deleted.

Unfortunately I am now stuck (admittedly self inflicted) with a full store
and unable to upload new backups until housekeeping finishes.

Would it be possible to change future versions to update the block count
while running housekeeping? I see very high memory usage as well which I
guess is due to boxbackup having to keep track of deleted files, or
something similar?

Best regards,
Peter
