Maybe I'm the only human which thinks a bit more "elastically", but if
anybody asks:

"Anybody knows why there's difference between the above 2 values?"

I'm prone to explain *why* there's a difference and not wasting my time
and the time of others for typing simply "yes".
But that may be a weird and complex way-of-thinking that is affecting
only me :-/

The reason which *for me* is worth knowing to which value I have to
trust and *why*, is the fact that I have to account for HDD space usage.
I'd really be happy using the values that BackupPC shows in the "Host
Summary", but if they ain't really what HDD space usage should be, I
just want to know which value to consider. If anybody has already done
this sort of considerations (HDD space accounting per single host, which
corresponds to a single customer), please explain to me his or her
considerations.

Thanks,
F.
