I just coped about 1TB of data from a 2016 Filer Server to a 2019 file Server - 1 large folder and its contents

On source server
Size 898 GB 545k files 135k folders

On dest server
Size 9.25GB 9k files 5k folders

On Dest Server
Volume shows its has 898GB of data

Backed up Dest Server - shows backed up 898GB of data

Ran robocopy and it shows it copied 545k files 135k folders

so the disk shows the data is there, and robocopy says it copied the data, and backup confirms the data is there

but if I click properties on the folder its shows 9GB of data. and I can confirm that some of the Folders w/in are showing a fraction of the data.

Can anyone help me ID whats going on? The data has the exact same permissions as where it came. Account I am using has full control over the data.

Any help would be appreciated - stumped
