'Remaining' count is negative

title: "'Remaining' count is negative" created_at: 2018.10.16 updated_at: 2018.10.16 --- In rare instances, the "Remaining" count in your operations log will show a negative number. This is a result of one or more hard links being deleted after the scan but before the backup. Operating systems are constantly creating and deleting temporary files while running. Normally, you wouldn’t noticed this, but with Retrospect Backup protecting your entire system, you can see these patterns in the operations log. See an example below.
