Error description

• A Tivoli Storage Manager client backup which has client side
  deduplication  and compression enabled, will see an incorrect
  value calculated in the ending client summary statistics. The
  value seen will always represent the same value seen for "Total
  number of bytes transferred". Eg :
  
  Total number of objects inspected:  153,101
  Total number of objects assigned:     3,579
  Total number of objects backed up:      474
  Total number of objects updated:          0
  Total number of objects rebound:          0
  Total number of objects deleted:          0
  Total number of objects expired:         85
  Total number of objects failed:           4
  Total objects deduplicated:             267
  Total number of bytes inspected:      16.44 GB
  Total number of bytes processed:      273.74 MB   <=======
  Total bytes before deduplication:      1.22 GB
  Total bytes after deduplication:      454.72 MB
  Total number of bytes transferred:    273.74 MB   <=======
  Data transfer time:                  800.62 sec
  Network data transfer rate:          350.11 KB/sec
  Aggregate data transfer rate:        174.71 KB/sec
  Objects compressed by:                   40%
  Deduplication reduction:              63.63%
  Total data reduction ratio:           98.38%
  Elapsed processing time:           00:26:44
  
  The actual value for the "Total number of bytes transferred" is
  calculated correctly, taking into consideration deduplication
  and compression savings.
  
  This only affects the Tivoli Storage Manager Client which has
  both client side deduplication and compression enabled.
