This is because the time is different on the source and destination, and the time is taken from both to calculate the value.

Sometimes 'rdiff-backup --calculate-average session_statistics.*' reports negative values for ElapsedTime. I'm currently using version 1.2.8.

I suspect that one or more of the following conditions might be the cause for this behaviour:

1. There is only one session_statistics file.
2. There are no increments.
3. The copy time is virtually zero (no changs).

Here is an example output:

rdiff-backup --calculate-average rdiff-backup-data/session_statistics.2015*
--------------[ Average of 1 stat files ]--------------
ElapsedTime -0.07 (59 minutes 59.93 seconds)
