Yep - probably that's something close.

Here is a small and unscientific test:

"du -sh host" gave me 8.8 GB

In compression summary, in "New files", when I add these columns:

Size/MB - 13289.6
Comp/MB -  3697.8

So no number is close to "du" output.


When I multiply Size/MB by 30% (that's what I have in "Existing Files - 
Comp" ratio, latest backup), it gives me more or less 9 GB - which is 
pretty close to "du" output.

But it will all be useless as soon as the very first (initial) backup is 
removed/rotated.
