After a great reflexion :-) this is very confusing for my mind (and
some friends) because we expected to find<br>
the deduplicated size information as returned by the<i><b> borg
create</b></i> command at the time the backup was made<br>
<br>
that is to say the deduplicated size of one archive at the time it
is made<br>
which is to my opinion more interesting to see the benefit of
deduplication<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>It can be confusing that they differ, but as it stands it reflects how much space would be freed if you deleted that one archive. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I think that the easiest way if you want the the original value of the "Deduplicated size" is to log the output of borgbackup.<br></div><div><br></div><div>I guess the other statistic that would be of interest is how much space would be freed if some set of archives were deleted.<br></div> </div><br></div></div>
