Hi Gary,
Not that you were suggesting this (I think), but it's worth saying that SSDs don't need to be defragged - obviously there is no mechanical seeking to be done. Defragging just serves to wear out the memory cells. I think that Windows 7 won't defrag an SSD by default (don't know for sure as I haven't taken the plunge yet!).
Otherwise, only you can answer the question. An obvious thought: are you showing all files? Perhaps the backup files have the "hidden" flag set, so aren't immediately showing up?
To assist, try SequoiaView. It's a useful utility that provides a visual representation of the disk usage - I've used it a lot over the years. No-doubt others will have similar suggestions.
