    I’ve currently got around 470gb being backed up; compression brings that down to 320gb, then after de-duplication that’s down closer to 70gb. (there’s a lot of media metadata in there, results will vary)

    17 backups going back 6 months: 8.10 TB original > 5.62 TB compressed > 326.55 GB final backup data stored on disk

With an aggressive schedule checking a large number of files, it certainly can use a lot of battery; but I’ve had it setup to sync my entire device to my server a couple times a day, while also monitoring/syncing images immediately on creation/change. It doesn’t even register on androids battery usage monitor as it uses so little power.
