Hi Torrance,

I've measured the transfer size myself, and it came to notice that the sizes
sent over the connection are fairly small compared to other backup tools
with default setups.
I guessed the files are being gzipped before they will be transfered.
Also, I would as well like a overview of sent data in the session
statistics.

Thijs
