Hello All:

The Magnificent Mr. Steve Bonds has sent me a detailed answer on this.
Thanks Steve. 8^)

Marc:

According to the fbackup man page, blocks are 1024 bytes, so that would
be:

27006806 blocks * 1024 bytes / block = 27654969344 bytes

which at 1073741824 bytes per GB is about 25.75 GB. (Using the CompSci
definition of GB, not the HP Marketing definition of GB.)
