Erling,
This is something a lot of people have noticed since upgrading to Retrospect
4.2. Long story short, it's nothing to worry about.
As you guessed, the reason it's happening is that Retrospect 4.2 now makes
more frequent additions to the log file, to aid in troubleshooting if
something goes wrong. Since the log may have been added to during a backup,
Retrospect may find that it is larger when it compares the file than when it
originally copied it.
Retrospect will report ANY difference in name, size, type, creator, creation
date or time, or modification date or time. Nothing escapes its compare
phase, even its own log file. I usually recommend treating execution errors
equally. Keep an eye on what types of errors you're getting, even something
as seemingly innocuous as this one. Retrospect's devotion to detail can come
in very handy when you need to troubleshoot problems.
