There is also the 'chitchat' that the client and server do when discussing 
whether an individual file has been backed up or is missing.  That increases 
the network transmissions significantly if you have a large number of files and 
are not using local journaling.

Subject: [ADSM-L] Backup larger than data on server

We have TSM version 5.2. The client server I am referring to here is
Redhat linux.

In the /var/log/tsm/dsmsched.log it lists

Total number of bytes transferred:    79.18 GB

However there is only around 60 Gb of data on the server (see df below)

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             9.7G  2.1G  7.1G  23% /
/dev/sdb2             104G   57G   43G  58% /opt

Can someone explain why the number of bytes transferred exceeds the
amount of data on the server?

Thanks
Paul
