Apologies for the basic question - re: the figure of 'TotalDataSizeKBytes' in the Backup Exec jobs summary report... is this number in units of 1000 bytes, or units of 1024 bytes?
I ask, because I've just checked in NetBackup, and the figure in the NetBackup activity monitor screen for size of backup jobs is KB (i.e. units of 1024), as defined here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kibibyte
I ask, because in sizing calculations we usually work with GB and TB figures - which themselves are all based on 'kB' (i.e. units of 1000)...
...which means that if I divide NetBackup's 'KB' figure by 1000 to achieve MB etc,... then the resultant figure for MB is actually around 2.344% smaller than the 'kB / 1000' figure.
I'm wondering if the same is true for Backup Exec's 'TotalDataSizeKBytes' figure?
Thanks. D.
