GUI misreporting Current and Estimated Kb

I am running 8.1.1 on Linux.

On certain duplications jobs (via SLP), the last copy, when it is running, shows an Estimated Kb, that is different to the Current Kb.

Example - Estimated 561,615,152Kb, and Current is 1,552,359,468Kb.

When I check the copies in the catalog, and in the reports, it shows the correct size. And all copies are showing the same size. Only in the activity monitor job log does it show the difference.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour ?.

    Don't worry. Netbackup performs a estimation before starting a SLP to ensure there is sufficient space to perform the operation. How the algorithm work only Veritas know - but I recall it work on a image average plus some percent slack for uncertainty.
