I didn't want to post this question on my previous thread (https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1364583/) since I think this would be a separate concern.
I just did a full restore overnight of my MBP from a Time Machine backup. Before the backup, Finder said I had about 4 GB available. After the restore finished this morning, Finder says I have about 20 GB available.
I've looked around and all my files seem to be here intact - all movies, pictures, iTunes podcasts, music, applications, e-mails, etc. So my question is, is it normal to get that much more space on my hard drive after doing a full Time Machine restore?
