Clone drive size

[SuperdeeeDuper]

It always seems like my internal hard drive always has 2 GB more used memory then my backup LaCie drive. I'm using Smart Update and my clone drive comes out using about 75 GB while my internal that I cloned has 77 GB of used space. Is that normal? Everything is still copied over right? I'm not ignoring any files. I'm cloning it all.

Sounds about the right size for, say, VM Swap files or a sleep image...

Okay, so ... that's good right? :p

I'm guessing those missing 2 gigs are the system files SuperDuper and Apple recommend not copying?

That certainly what it sounds like to me. :)
