      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

            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?

                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..

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

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

                      I made a fix; if you could confirm that the issue is resolved for you, that would be great.
                      Here's the branch: fix/update-transfer-size-calculation

                        This does seem to work for Delta backup and health check enabled. Did not run a full backup.

                          I can confirm that XO6 now shows the same transfer sizes as XO5. Lovely
