windows - Robocopy: destination folder size is bigger than source folder size

I've backed up my windows profile folder to external hard drive with the following command in batch file:


robocopy %userprofile% %~dp0src\dest /b /mir /mt /r:1 /w:5 >nul

After the copy was completed the destination folder ended up being bigger in size (by a couple of Gb) and containing more files than the source folder.


What may be the cause of it?
