There are 172 hosts that have been backed up, for a total of: 318 full backups of total size 2569.41GB (prior to pooling and compression), 4687 incr backups of total size 8298.06GB (prior to pooling and compression). > My pool is around 630GB and 3843035 files (so 1/5th the size and > only half the number of files), but DF shows it to be 654GB on > disk. That's a 2% difference; min is 3055GiB vs ~3800GiB, which is a *20*% difference. 10x more different.
