looking at the sizes of the directories created by
backintime i am puzzled by a directory which shows up as
86M in one instance and 35G in another.  can someone
please explain what's going on.

moylan 1[1630] ls
20170607-120002-419/  20170607-230005-357/  b1*  last_snapshot@
moylan 1[1631] du -s *
35G	20170607-120002-419
86M	20170607-230005-357
