DFS Replication - Compressing a folder participating in DFS Replication results to a zipped file twice as large as the folder itself

$

We're using this command to create a daily backup of a folder by zipping it:

[io.compression.zipfile]::CreateFromDirectory($Source, $destination)

We noticed that after setting up DFSR, the size of the zipped file becomes twice as large as zipped files from the previous days. When checking the folder itself, it's half of the newly created zipped file. There are also thrice as many files in the zipped folder when checking its Properties but judging from the contents, there are no extra files created.

I know that sometimes compression doesn't really result to a smaller file, but creating a file twice as large weirds me out. I wonder if the extra files it sees are from the branch server.

Does anyone have an idea?
