That does help. Great info. Thanks James.

James, I have a similar question. Would you please clarify this for me as I'm not 100% sure what "the aggregate size of the original items" means.

In the QRecall browser, the layer pane has Layer, Date, Size, Items. Does the Size column mean:

A/ The size of the items at that point in time (ie. the disk space it would take to restore all items), or

B/ The size that this layer is *actually* taking up in the archive. This would be less than A because of QRecall's ability to only backup changed parts of a file.

I ask because my layer sizes are always around 60GB. So I'm wondering if QRecall is just backing up my entire VMWare vmdk file each time, meaning it would not be detecting unchanged parts of the file.

Crickey, I'm finding it hard to phrase this question concisely. Did that make any sense at all?
