also might want to bear in mind that the client may have files that
are identical but not hardlinked. backuppc will deduplicate, and
unless you unravel all those details, your calculations may be off a
bit.

thanks gregwm,

my aim is to understand client utilisation per client after compression but not worrying about shared hardlinks, so i can report back to each user their approx usage - server pool utilisation is not a worry for this.

To get that information just want to be sure that my "du -hs" is giving me that info and im not miss reading.

if someone with the required knowledge could confirm im correct would be fantastic.
thanks all
