HD usage

Hi,


I just recently back up my MBook Pro (mid 2009) with Carbon Copy Cloner.


When I booted from the back up drive, everything worked. I can still run Windows 7 (64 bit) from it.


The thing is this tho: the back up disk only takes 75 gig, but I have 120 gig taken from my macbook pro.


Can someone tell me what is going on?


Thanks.

MBP 13", Mac OS X (10.6.2), newbie!

There are several reasons why CCC clones don't match original disk usage - among other things, trash, certain caches, and VM is skipped:
