All-

One of our Windows admins pointed out something odd about one of our
backup clients, and I'm wondering if anyone else has ever seen this.

NetWorker server: 7.5.2.Build 452 on RHEL 5.5
client: 7.4.2.Build 431 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 Enterprise (32 bit)

The windows client in question has an F: volume that's 2.3 TB in size
and is nearly full.  Here's the relevant info for the last three (monthly)
fulls for that client:

  date   ssid       name            total nfiles ssflags
 09/22/10 3734671417 F:\    2393825931812 12246 vrEF
 10/02/10 2141638987 F:\    2431533007424 12299 vF
 11/10/10 2497352593 F:\    2464296651492 12683 vF

However, here's what the savegrp completion report had to say about the
client:

* client.ndsu.edu:F:\ 1 retry attempted
  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 1844 MB 56:18:40  12683 files


Notice that the units in the savegrp report are "MB", when in reality they
should probably be "GB".

Going back through older savegrp reports for the F: volume for that client,
I see:

  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 1339 GB 12:17:23  10322 files
  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 1348 GB 11:36:39  10350 files
  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 1426 GB 13:12:59  10504 files

  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 2051 MB 36:09:37  12930 files
  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 2082 GB 36:29:02  12479 files
  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 1996 MB 38:56:18  12609 files

  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 2071 GB 60:24:53  11955 files
  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 1915 MB 62:52:11  12431 files
  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 1911 MB 83:43:01  12246 files
  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 1875 MB 86:24:49  12299 files
  client.ndsu.edu: F:\ level=full, 1844 MB 56:18:40  12683 files


At some point last year (potentially when we went to 7.5.x on the server)
this savegrp notification started having the wrong units for the saveset
size, but not always.

I've done some searching in Powerlink and turned up a similar issue with
the Oracle NMO, esg64466, but nothing else for the standard client savegrp
report.

Anyone else encountered this?
