Post strange entries in ascii LOG file 
Hello people, I think something weird is going on. I started a backup the other night and decided to check the logs on how much it copied and how long it took. This the LOG file:

0 full 1077524329 1077525885 168394 11154824693 168394 11154824693 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 8209293332 0 0 1
1 incr 1077525912 1077526288 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0 0 1 1
2 incr 1077526654 1077529449 361 579547804 112 10019245 399 569555804 0 0 0 0 3 5120681 158379562 1 1

4 incr 1077701515 1077707064 533 605629100 101 15292800 639 590386318 0 0 0 0 3 10252141 177374926 1 1

It was the last entry that I was concerned about - The entry in the Xfer log file says it has transferred 169mb (563mb uncompressed). I thought this was just a little bit weird because
I knew that it was only running for no more than an hour and half at the most, and the upload speed was no more than 15k/s. So, checking the times, I do the following:

expr 1077707064 - 1077701515 which eq 5549 (or 92 minutes).

So, 5549 seconds to do the transfer. I know that the transfer speed was going on average at about 15k a second, sometimes less, but never more. So the next equation:

expr 5549 * 15 which eq 83235, or 83mb roughly.

So what's going on here? is BackupPC reporting an incorrect size in what is being transferred? I doubt the times would be incorrect...

Is the XferMethod rsync? If so, this behavior is expected,
since rsync just sends file deltas, rather than entire files,
across the network. BackupPC reports the total size of the
files that were sent, even if the delta was much smaller.

Yeah the method is rsyncd. I understand what you mean now, makes much more sense! thanks.
