Backup not creating a mirror image after major changes?

Hi,

First, thanks for an indispensable piece of software!

So the question: a client of mine is a photography instructor and at my urging, she recommends that her students use SuperDuper. The problem she encounters is that, according to her, when some of her students make massive changes to their main drive (renaming lots of files, moving lots of files/folders) that the resulting backup of the drive is larger than the original. Apparently some of the empty/moved files and folders on the backup aren't deleted or something like that.

My understanding is that SD always make a mirror of the drive; is it possible that after a lot of changes that the resulting backup drive will not be a mirror?

Seems unlikely to me, but I'm trying to help her keep her students properly backed-up!

Thanks in advance!
