Do you want to know which sites on your server are the largest sites? There’s an easy way to figure that out!
You need to run the linux du command directly on the server which means SSH.
So, login to your server as root/sudo via ssh.
cd /var/www
This is the root folder for all your sites.
sudo du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -hr
The output should look something like this:
121M . 61M ./demo22.vnxv.com 61M ./demo21.vnxv.com 5.0K ./html
The first column contains the size of the folder – in the above example, the entire www folder is 121 megabytes and the two sites are each 61 megabytes.
You can use the same technique to find out which backups are taking up the most space on your server.
Navigate to the backup folder
cd ~/.wp-backup
Run the same DU command described earlier above:
sudo du -h --max-depth=1 | sort -hr
