I have additional HDDs available if growing the partition is in order

Try a yum clean all. That might help. But if it's as you say, not

Hi again all,
There was a 3.5hr power outage last night which explains it all.
Sadly, I've got some investigation to do about why my *supposed* 5hrs
of battery backup didn't last long enough to cover, but the
mount point was, in fact, unmounted and so rsync did it's job right
into the folder as opposed to the ext. drive.
As always, my sincere thanks to this list and to our CentOS maintainers.
Kindest regards,

I noticed the chorus of agreement that your problem was likely a result
of failure to mount your backup drive. My backup script, which also
uses rsync begins like this, insuring a good mount before shoving bytes
around. It's not SUPPOSED to be mounted before the script runs but I
test for that, too. (The drive label is OTOT):
#!/bin/bash
# Backup using rsync and rotating directories
#
#Set the Dest. Mount
UD=/media/OTOT
MS=8388608 # Minimum free space 8GB
#
# Drive mount logic:
#
if [ -z $(mount | grep $UD | awk '{ print $3 }') ]; then
mount $UD
fi
if [ -z $(mount | grep $UD | awk '{ print $3 }') ]; then
echo "Drive refuses to mount!!"
exit 1
fi
#
# Drive is mounted. Get device name
#
XDR=$(mount | grep $UD | awk '{ print $1 }')
etc., etc.
