[ale] Disk Space used in the past 5 days

[Chuck Payne]

Maybe this will help. I have 14TB in a directory.  We are looking at
getting Storage offsite, we working to setting up a DR site. Because of the
cost so storage offsite, I was asked to see how much storage we use 1 day
and 5 days so that I can get the cost.

That why I am trying get how much data we use in 5 Days, that 14TB is about
year worth.

I was hoping there was an easy way, I guess I need to write a script that
tell what directory and files where write in the pass file days and then
add them up on a calculator.

I had figure some other sys. admin face this task.
