Access 2003 shutdown question

G

Gator

Access encountered a problem and did an auto shutdown. I noticed that it
made a backup copy of the database in the same directory. However, the
original database file is a smaller file size than the original was before
the shutdown. The database_backup is the same size as the original was
before the shutdown. I understand the making a backup but why are they
different sizes if they are replicas? Does the database_Backup automatically
update when changes are made to the original? Why is the original file
smaller in size?
thanks
