What is the difference between total, optimized and compressed file backup size?

• Total file size is the amount of data that is on your system that was backed up in the most recent backup.
• Optimized size is the delta block incremental, in other words the portions of the backed up files that were actually changed. Also, for full system backups, system files already on our system do not need to be uploaded.
• Compressed size is the size of the information after compression which is actually sent to the data center.

The bottom of the log file shows all three file sizes. The Home screen shows only total and compressed file sizes. Because the data is both optimized and compressed, the amount of data actually sent to the data center is relatively small, and the incremental backup is fast.
