Hi,

I'm rather confused. After having done a mirrored sync with a backup drive onto the other (L-->M), I found myself with much different drive sizes. So I decided to start from scratch by formatting my M drive and do a simple drag and drop of all my L folders onto the other (M). That didn't help making them identical weirdly enough, so I re-did a mirror file sync and again, same result... Take a look at my attachment. The upper part is when I look at each drive's properties by right clicking on the drive letter. Bottom is when I select all folders within... None of them are similar between each other! And my M drive has a difference of a 93.6GB no less! While the bottom ones indicate that I should only have 6 or 13GB free on them... What is going on? How can I know if my backup has been done correctly and what numbers are actually the good ones?
