Why are transfer sizes different between XO5 & XO6?

@Danp

Ah, yes. Sorry for not supplying that bit of crucial information.

XO from source: a1dba

I should also say that I believe the transfer size is from Delta Backups. And also, I find XO5 to be better descriptive of how large the amount of backup-data was sent to the remote. Whilst XO6 includes the amount of data from Health Checks sent as well. If this is the case, then the amount if Health Check data, isn't relevant imho. Or should be placed in brackets or similar.

I'm not seeing this discrepancy on either XOA 6.8.2 or XO from sources (commit a1dba). Does it occur with all backup jobs or only some of them?

Also, I'm not sure that I understood your reference to the side panel. Are you not able to view it in XO6?

Edit: Just saw your comment regarding health checks. This is certainly something to investigate.

@Danp

The backup jobs are Delta Backups. And other than the Health Checks-theory, I don't really have a theory of why the same job would report 28GB transfered in XO5, but 172GB in XO6.

The comment about the side panel, is more an emphasis that it is very difficult to read and extract the relevant information from. Whereas in XO5 that information was presented far easier. Both from a readability standpoint, but also accessibility. Where I have a very hard time with being able to focus on elements in XO6... But that is another topic for another day. I'm eagerly hoping for it to mature more. And it is slowly getting better.

Same thing here:
Commit: a1dba

XO5 transfers ~ 9-20GB
XO6 transfers ~ 100-180GB

I am seeing similar but only 1 vm backup is different.

XO - commit a1dba
719.71 GB vs 415.96 GiB (Full backup)

[Danp]

For those of you that are observing a difference in the reported transfer size between XO5 and XO6, can you please let us know if the affected backup jobs are performing health checks?

@Danp
I have Healtch Checks on my Delta Backups. Yes

@danp

testing now... i did not have it enabled on my deltas but did have it enabled on full.. Running delta now with enabled. will report back.

Edit - still running but i think thats the issue health check is part of the calculation..

[Danp]

I've confirmed the discrepancy when health checks are performed. Let's see what @Team-XO-Backend has to say about this.

@Danp
Happy to hear that you too were able to reproduce the phenomenon.
Thank you for taking the time to look.
