Question

the Data Size of the full backup in Disk was inconsistent with the size scanned in the backup task Status.


I used Agent to back up a Linux virtual machine on the UIS platform, and I found that the Data Size of the full backup in Disk was inconsistent with the size scanned in the backup task Status. See the screenshot.

There is no screenshot attached for us to check.  Please attach so we can see the difference.  Keep in mind that Veeam agent backups blocks that have data and not empty blocks. So it usually is different as I have a 1TB drive in my laptop and the full backup is no where near that size.  😂

The screenshot is missing for us to analyze it properly 😂, but based on the description, it could be related to job compression.

Since you need to send the size screenshot, please also send a screenshot of the job configuration in the Storage → Advanced section.
