Hy Jon, > Q: Does anyone know? > A: Yes
Maybe I'm the only human which thinks a bit more "elastically", but if anybody asks: "Anybody knows why there's difference between the above 2 values?" I'm prone to explain *why* there's a difference and not wasting my time and the time of others for typing simply "yes". But that may be a weird and complex way-of-thinking that is affecting only me :-/ > Asked and answered.

The reason which *for me* is worth knowing to which value I have to trust and *why*, is the fact that I have to account for HDD space usage. I'd really be happy using the values that BackupPC shows in the "Host Summary", but if they ain't really what HDD space usage should be, I just want to know which value to consider. If anybody has already done this sort of considerations (HDD space accounting per single host, which corresponds to a single customer), please explain to me his or her considerations.
