I'm not an experienced BackupPC user or manager of a large environment
(I use it for home use), but here's a couple of ideas.

Is your backup directory on a LVM volume? If so, is there a way you
could temporarily add more space?

Did your NAS backup happen on an incremental or a full backup? If on
an incremental, is it possible to drop the incremental backup? Of
course you would have a window where the backup would not be current
but maybe you can tolerate this until another backup can complete.

Hope this helps.
