backup file sizes

Hi all, first time posting here.

Ive backed up a website now twice and noted the backup size in plesk which states its 14.9GB in size. However when I come to downloading the backups the file size has somewhat dramatically dropped from 14.9GB to 1.9gb and displays 1.9gb once downloaded. Is there something wrong with the backup ?

Further more I created a client backup of around 5 websites inclusing the large website as described above. However, the file size stated in plesk is 1.9gb in size. How can this be when theres one of the websites that clearly state as above that its 14.9gb

Hope someone can clarify for me whats happening to the file sizes and backups.

Thannks in advance for your replies.

Regards
Dean Greasley
