LARGE source files backedup to destination. I deleted source file; does backup delete them too?

Thread needs solution

I recently downloaded a very large file (6 hour video) to my source drive. Acronis TI 2015 backed it up accordingly. Likewise, the backup file was very large. I plan to delete the source file (MP4) from my source drive in the very near future. Will the backup file (tib) on the destination drive reflect that too? Will I see a corresponding reduction in the size of that backup file (tib) on the destination drive??

Hi Paul,
backup file contains the snapshot of the data at the moment of the backup. Later changes to data won't be reflected by already created backup files, but backups that will be created after video file deletion will reflect the changes.
