Why is .TIB file larger than the drive?

Thread needs solution

I backup a Windows 7 64-bit computer selecting the C: drive and 'verification at end' option.
The backup verified without error but the .TIB file is 156GB in size while the drive that was backup up was only 30GB.
Did I miss something in the setup process?
Would you trust the backup?

Thanks for the help.

Hello Charles,

Could you PM or post some screenshots showing the backup selection, what you see in the Windows Disk management (run diskmgmt.msc), and the resulting file?

Thank you.
