File Count Differs

[astrogabby@gmail.com]

Hi,

I have my laptop and three externals that I make backup copies of every quarter.

After a Mirror sync, I double check and repeat the Comparing process and Free File says there are no further files to sync, which is normal and great!

BUT, when I check Properties via Windows after syncing, the amount of files and size are different on each and every drive even with a fresh format of the external.

Any Ideas????

Thanks so much!

Thank you Zenju. That helps.

I have compared folder by folder to find the missing files via Explorer and eventually find them. I just can't figure out why Free Files isn't catching them or catching them on one drive and not the other. They don't fit any of the descriptions in the link provided. Just normal JPEG, Word files. Then when I Compare that fold told to folder, Free Files catches them, but not within a full backup.

Thanks Again!
