Hi,

yes, I have both compressed and uncompressed backups, a legacy from slow 
hardware and many and big files, which are basically not
compressable anyway (Tif, CR2, WAV, ...). I'm in the process
of switching to only compressable.

Miracoulosely, after a reset - again -, everything is working as
before. The output is:
----------------%x---------------%x-----------------%x---------------

     The servers PID is 4231, on host elefant, version 3.2.1, started at 
7/31 09:17.
     This status was generated at 8/1 18:08.
     The configuration was last loaded at 7/31 09:17.
     PCs will be next queued at 8/1 19:00.
     Other info:
         4 pending backup requests from last scheduled wakeup,
         0 pending user backup requests,
         0 pending command requests,
         Uncompressed pool:
             Pool is 400.95GB comprising 154009 files and 4369 
directories (as of 8/1 01:11),
             Pool hashing gives 0 repeated files with longest chain 0,
             Nightly cleanup removed 0 files of size 0.00GB (around 8/1 
01:11),
         Compressed pool:
             Pool is 7505.37GB comprising 2479964 files and 4369 
directories (as of 8/1 10:30),
             Pool hashing gives 113267 repeated files with longest chain 13,
             Nightly cleanup removed 1915 files of size 9.98GB (around 
8/1 10:30),
         Pool file system was recently at 55% (8/1 18:00), today's max 
is 65% (8/1 16:00) and yesterday's max was 56%.
----------------%x---------------%x-----------------%x---------------
I hope this stays at this level.

Thanks, Hans
