This is not actually true. The accounting log counts the number of bytes
passed from client to server, including all retries. If you have a 3GB
file that retries 4 times for a backup, and then fails, the accounting
log will note 12GB of data when 0 bytes actually backed up.

Looking through the server activity log for ANE4961I messages give a
more accurate picture.
