I backup my Win 7 Acronis TI 2019 backup folder, stored on a 4TB HDD, to a 4TB mirror on my Freenas 11 machine. The Win 7 Acronis TI 2019 backup folder lists 42 files & 2 folders (2.54TB used) whereas the Freenas copy reports 112 files & 7 folders (3.45TB used)? I have snapshots turned off on Freenas. If I physically count the files & folders on Freenas 4TB mirror I get the same count as Win 7 ie 42 files & 2 folders
Any suggestions?

Any hidden folders? (A long shot, I know)

Thanks to pro lamer I've found it. I use allways sync for synchonising Win 7 Acronis TI 2019 backup folder with Freenas & by mistake I had left 'file versioning policy' at its default option of 'move to syncapp folder' (a hidden folder). This saves a copy of deleted files for later restoration if needed
