If you were closer I'd take a swing in and look for you. That said, if it is OK with the boss (err chief), I'd be willing to make a remote connection while you are there and spend a few minutes looking at what is being backed up. Odds are there has been file creep which has expanded this. Second. Of vital importance, and I cannot stress this enough, you need to periodically TEST your backups by RETRIEVING a test block of files to the server to verify that what is being backed up can actually be restored. While there are certainly other things I would recommend - like setting up to do close a bare-metal-restore or better, at minimum, every 6 months you need to test your ability to restore that data so that you know your backups are working.
