Excellent! Now, do yourself a favour and fix your backup program so that
it doesn't send backups to your /var/backup folder.

Also install ncdu:

$ sudo apt-get install ncdu

That way if it happens again you'll have an easy way to find your
largest files from the console. See:
http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/ncdu.1.html
http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu
Experiment with it now so that you'll be familiar with the application
in the future.
