Assuming the output is from a STORE ...;ONLINE;STATISTICS
I am speculating (not looking at the source :-).
All numerics should be in bytes. That makes your totals roughly 77 GB.

File Data will be net content sizes of the files themselves.
Misc Data probably refers to data structures like file labels, file
label extensions, the backup media dieectory, and possibly the MPE
directory/ies (if you STORE with ;DIRECTORY).
Log data are the pages in your files that have changed during the
backup was run (in bytes as well, the numbers should all be multiples
of 4096), this will showup only with the ;ONLINE feature.

Goetz.
