There is also the 'chitchat' that the client and server do when discussing whether an individual file has been backed up or is missing. That increases the network transmissions significantly if you have a large number of files and are not using local journaling.

The client server I am referring to here is Redhat linux. In the /var/log/tsm/dsmsched.log it lists Total number of bytes transferred: 79.18 GB However there is only around 60 Gb of data on the server (see df below) Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 9.7G 2.1G 7.1G 23% / /dev/sdb2 104G 57G 43G 58% /opt Can someone explain why the number of bytes transferred exceeds the amount of data on the server?
