Code:
$RSYNC -r -a -v -e "ssh -i $PUBKEY -l root" --delete $REMOTESERVER:$REMOTEPART $LOCALPARTITION

--delete is the problem.
If for remote server the size of data increase by "size - X + Y"(where X is what you delete in time and Y is what you add in time) on the backup volume the size increase by "size + X" each time.
Finlay your backup volume will run out of space, how fast ? That's depend on X and Y.
