Why do you say it's a PROBLEM?
It merely says "ESTIMATED" based on the backup size of the previous similar backup, plus a small %. It does not scan the client filesystem to do a calculation.
It does not fail the job because of the estimation, right? That would be a problem...

It's a best guess of how much is going to be saved based on its previous run of that particular schedule & so is nothing at all to worry about.
I've never known it to guess very well tho' as it always seems to over-estimate by at least 10% ;)

It also uses the same "calculation" to estimate the % complete whilst the job's running & also time remaining. Altho' the latter is very mis-leading if the job has been queued for some time as it uses the time the job initially started & not the time it actively started backing up.
