[Question #653959]: "Num Volumes" doesn't match what is expected

I am running backups using duply.
I have "VOLSIZE = 250" in the duply conf file, backing up a directory with 3.6 TB of data.
In the output of "duplicity collection-status", I have the following backup chains:


Collection Status

Connecting with backend: LocalBackend
Archive dir: <REDACTED>

-------------------------
No orphaned or incomplete backup sets found.
--- Finished state OK at 14:15:08.826 - Runtime 00:00:12.894 ---


So I would expect that I can take the value under "num volumes" for the full backups and divide them by 250 to get a number close to 3600, but I don't.

1) why is this number so far off from what I expect?
2) how can I tell the volume of data that is in each backup set? (which is my ultimate goal)
