Do you see more? Less?  Please cite an example.

Here are my notes on the number, from http://people.bu.edu/rbs/ADSM.QuickFacts:

Total number of bytes transferred:      In the summary statistics from an
                                        Archive or Backup operation, or the
                                        Activity Log message ANE4961I which
                                        records the client operation stats.
                                        Note that the number will probably be
                                        less than the sum reflected by including
                                        the numbers shown on "Directory-->"
                                        lines of the report, in that *SM stores
                                        only the name and attributes of
                                        directories.  Note also that Retry
                                        operations may inflate this value, if
                                        they result in the file being re-sent to
                                        the server, as in the case of the
                                        beginning of a direct-to-tape backup,
                                        when the tape is not yet mounted.
