Hi! Those numbers are before pooling and compression, which leads us to these features: BackupPC uses compression, so if the data compresses well, you'll have less on your disk. It also uses pooling, so if many files are identical, they will be written only once on the disk, again reducing real disk usage. If you are unsure, try restoring and verifying the data. (You should always do that in a production system anyway!)
