Hi, this has been discussed before - ultimately, the actual transferred data cannot be measured by rdiff-backup as it uses SSH, which may or may not compress things, and there is overhead and compression to factor in. You need to use a tool external to the ssh session to measure the traffic used by a typical backup session. dave
