APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Tivoli Storage Manager Client can calculate the "Total
  number of bytes inspected" incorrectly, resulting in the figure
  figure displayed in the ending client statistics being much
  larger than the actual filesystems being processed. For example:
  
  Successful incremental backup of '/mydata'
  
  Total number of objects inspected:      420,400
  Total number of objects backed up:       19,001
  Total number of objects updated:              0
  Total number of objects rebound:              0
  Total number of objects deleted:              0
  Total number of objects expired:             62
  Total number of objects failed:               2
  Total number of bytes inspected:          17.30 TB     <<====
  Total number of bytes transferred:         1.90 GB
  Data transfer time:                       19.06 sec
  Network data transfer rate:          104,902.98 KB/sec
  Aggregate data transfer rate:         14,524.46 KB/sec
  Objects compressed by:                        0%
  Total data reduction ratio:               99.99%
  Elapsed processing time:               00:02:17
  
  In the above example, the /mydata filesystem was only 145GB in
  size, but we reported inspecting 17.30TB of data. The reason is
  a problem with the algorithm miscalculating the value and
  including this for multiple versions of the same files during
  the backup from the Tivoli Storage Manager server.
  
  This does not affect the actual backup of data, nor the overall
  backup time and the amount transferred is correctly reported.
  
  Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected:
  All supported versions and all supported Unix, Linux, and
  Microsoft Windows operating systems.
