rsync mystery

[Karl Larsen]

    I have backed up this system to my second hard drive but there is a 
strange problem. Yesterday I found a problem and now this computer is 
running in just 2894892000 bytes. I just backed it up and the size of 
the backup is at least 3549580000 bytes.

    Does anyone know why a backup is larger than the original??
