  1. im literally losing my mind here our monitoring box started failing right after a backup run.. lmao services refuse to start, package installs fail, and monitoring shows:

    Disk 0 (C:) Active time 100%

    Disk 0 (C:)   Active time 100%
    Not responding
    

    df -h confirms /var is at 100%. I dont want to just rm things randomly on a production box. where should i look first?

    This monitoring box has been running for years with very little attention, which is probably teh problem. Nobody remembers whats supposed to grow and what isnt. Id love a safe checklist i can follow without accidentally deleting something important. what am i doing wrong??
