@f0dder:
Then you should tell them that they mention octets twice (on the same line even!).   :P

So, like, in the following screenshot of a backup I've got running, the MiB means mega-bits, not mega-bytes, right?

SKA:
In yr last picture I see no MiB yes i see it now MiB =megabytes.

1 mebibyte (MiB) = 1,024 KB = 1,024^2 B =  1,048,576 Bytes

The case of second character may indicate different things -
--- megabits written as Mb - the small case second character b indicates bits
--- megabytes written as MB - the big case  second character B indcates Bytes

For data transfer speed(network)     For storage          For flash/RAM memory ?
Kb = kilobits                                  KB = kilobytes       ?
Mb = megabits                              MB = megabytes    ?
Gb = gigabits                                GB = gigabytes      ?

ofcourse many people mix up kB,Kb, and KB or mB, Mb, and MB.  I maybe wrong -just saw this :

@SKA:  ^ I've replaced my earlier screenshot with one that has red circles drawn around the areas of interest...
