Data Movement: Shadow Migration Bytes

This statistic tracks total shadow migration bytes per second transferred as part of migrating file or directory contents. This does not apply to metadata (extended attributes, ACLs, and so on). It gives a rough approximation of the data transferred, but source datasets with a large amount of metadata will show a disproportionally small bandwidth. The complete bandwidth can be observed by looking at network analytics.
