Tim,

The client doesn't *have* disk utilisation. Files from any client are
pooled with all other clients. That's the defining characteristic of
BackupPC.

You can see how many files were transferred during any one backup in the
web interface for that client. If you want a total of "usage", sum the
relevant Full and Incremental file transfer data.

Regards,
Tyler

hey Tyler,

When i do run "a du -hs on the clients folder under the pc dir" is the result of that the amount of file storage the client is using (what could be shared by others)

For example, I have comA and comB that both have the same 2GB file backed up. du -hs on both of their folders will result in...

comA 2GB
comB 2GB

...and for the pool...

Total 2GB (as the two files above point to the same file via hard links)

Just want to be sure what numbers im looking at, thank you for your help
