There's now a host swap command which automates most of the mechanics of this. Needs a little more work but this is significantly less error-prone now.

I have no idea if we are a typical corporate user or not, not if on-premise users will be like SaaS users. Anyway if it happens to be a useful example we have:

• 2 GiB of files
• 3 GiB of repos
• mysql dump gzipped is 1.6 GiB

That includes imports from trac and whatnot going back 8 years.

There's now a host prune command to destroy backups that are out of the retention period.

@cburroughs: Thanks for pulling that data, it's reassuring to get some level of confirmation that my idea of what an "average" install size is isn't too far off.
