How long have you been using this system with Mailman 3? I can't imagine that it's going to grow without bound for very long (but if you have been observing Mailman 3 for 6 months and it's still growing linearly I'd revise that guess). The question in my mind for now is how big might it get.
I backup the full server at a time, not just mailman or the web server separately. I’ve been running Mailman 3 on it since January. The current disk use of my entire server is around 35 Gb. The borg backup is somewhere around 600 Gb. The old borg backup when I was using Mailman 2 was less than 100 Gb (based on the fact that the partition I’m backing up into was smaller than that - after switching, I’ve been doing an lvresize of it every week or so.)
