Hello - When using the stats option I understand that Literal should be the amount of data that did not match, and that Sent should be the actually amount of bytes that were sent. I always use compress for remote transfers, so I'm used to Sent being smaller (usually around half the size) than Literal.
However on one server, the backup from last night had the Sent figure larger than Literal even though the compress option is used as is listed below: Number of files: 191253 Number of files transferred: 42 Total file size: 92217159832 bytes Total transferred file size: 692564897 bytes Literal data: 2813738 bytes Matched data: 689751159 bytes File list size: 4910229 Total bytes sent: 6457999 Total bytes received: 392265 sent 6457999 bytes received 392265 bytes 31208.49 bytes/sec total size is 92217159832 speedup is 13461.84 Anybody have an idea why this would happen?
