Introduction
While using Acronis Cyber Protect you might encounter the terms "Bytes processed" and "Bytes saved".
Bytes processed is the Size of files processed on disk or any other backup source. While Bytes saved means the bytes written in the current backup after compression.
The "Bytes saved" value should match the size of the corresponding slide, but there are some cases where this doesn't occur due to known issues in product. In this article 2 Known issues will be shown.
