The first question we should as is "Does BackupPC's pool usage report actual 
file size, or file size on disk (rounded up to nearest block)?" Does anyone 
know 
the answer?

I would expect it to show actual file size, because "size on disk" will vary 
with filesystem, both at the BackupPC server and the host you might restore it 
to. Only a true file size report would be useful. But it would be nice to 
report and graph both.
