Q: imovie backups sync with master?

I found a  suggestion to backup iMovie to disk by copying the iMovie Library folder to a backup disk.   I have plenty of backup disk constantly attached to my machine so I actually made several copies of my iMovie Library in different folders.   Then one day I deleted a clip I wanted and went to my backup to pick it up.   It seemed to me that the clip I deleted was deleted from all my backup copies because when I opened the backups (I went to the backup disk and clicked on that iMovie Library icon) the clip was gone from there too.   And this was the same for 2 or 3 backups.  Is that even possible?   I have worked with disk backups for 40 years and I've never seen anything like this happen.  version = iMovie 10.x

mac pro, Mac OS X (10.4.9)
