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!)
Regards,
Johan

I'm surprising, the rate of compression and pool is around 10 1350 Go give
135 Go.
Do you think it's normal rate???
I heard it should be around 5 or 6 but 10 seems to be large rate for me.
