``Size on disk`` and ``Size``

Hi there

I have my customer saying ``Size on disk`` and ``size `` in windows folder properties are different for the data mount from Data Domain .

This is the number on customer site .

◆FOLDER in Windows local disk

     - size : 1.19 GB

     - size on disk: 1.20 GB

FOLDER backed up by DD

     - size : 1.19 GB

     - size on disk : 4.51 GB

Its showing size on disk is bigger than size

Also for individual file size

◆File in Windows local disk

     Size 7.55 KB

     -file size on disk 8.00 KB

File backed up by DD

     - size : 7.55 KB

     - File size on disk : 1.00 MB

I can understand that this could be OS issue if actual volume is on Windows local disk .. like this blog ..
