Backup with robocopy file count and size are different

[Tobias_S.]

I always try to keep up 3 copies and found the tool robocopy /mir as very useful.

Tool: robocopy "D:\Daten\Eigene Dateien" "F:\Eigene Dateien" /mir

After some years I run into a big issue. Why there is such a big discrepancy in file size and count eating up the space on my external drive F:\?
See attached screenshot:




If I compare file by file, the count discrepancy gets lower and to 0 if I move down the folders tree to the last subfolder.

What do I have to change to match this numbers and get rid of this effect and how can I clean up such a folder? I only want to mirror a folder tree can't be that hard?
Hoping for constructive feedback.
