Well, it wasn't entirely clear, even though he did a "du". But in his case, external size difference isn't relevant.

With millions of files on a typical copy, and the fact that you're copying from a live drive in most cases, "verifying" the backup is always going to find many mismatches and doesn't really help a lot...
