Okay, here's a confusing one...

I used Reports > Client Backups and ran a separate report for the last 9 
weekends. (We run full backups on weekends starting Friday night).

My results are surprising and I cannot quantify why it looks this way...


Week   Data(TB)   Elapsed Hours
W1      14.543   282
W2      14.262   284
W3      14.466   288
W4      14.152   274
W5      14.275   289
W6      13.696   300
W7      12.363   406
W8      15.209   451
W9      15.072   484


As you can see, on Week 7, my elapsed time went through the roof.

Here's the issue. Week 7 is when I implemented many changes. 

- Created 1 policy per client. No more policies with many clients.

- Allowed multi-streaming on most policies, so every client now has a parent 
job and spawns multiple child jobs.

- Enabled multiplexing on storage units/drives/policies



After these changes my weekend Full backups are finishing Saturday afternoon. 
Before Week 7, we were backing up into Monday morning. So all my backups are 
finishing ~24 hours earlier, why is my elapsed time reporting so much higher??
