I had the same issue with backups not running. In the end I fixed it be moving all the backups to another server, remove the backup role from the original server, decommissioned the temporary server and restored the backup role to the original server. After that some backups where failing the first time but now they are all created.
Still having a disk space usage with the backups being created. I have the mail role separated from the application role so two servers are pushing backups to the backup server. My webserver has 22 GB of user data, my mail server has 11 GB of data and currently my 36 hours of backup (every 4 hours) are consuming 140 GB. This was earlier not the case. Than almost a month of backup history only took around 40 GB.
I think this is caused by having two processes creating backups (one from the webserver, one from the mail server) which makes that the rsync/snapshot functionality does not work well. The /current folder also contains only the last backup of one of the two roles. Not a complete set. This might be the cause. Will make a ticket for this.
Here an example of the space usage for two of the websites:
