I would go further than the other posters on this thread - sorry, this question and the answer given are just plain WRONG.See this MSDN blog entry which clearly explains log sizes in different modes:
The LOG FILE BACKUP is certainly likely to be larger.
The LOG FILE (subsequent to backup) is almost certainly SMALLER given that it is not doing point in time restore.
I will accept that the question could have been mangled unintentionally in the editorial prcess or something - but, the fact remains, the correct answer to the question as written is NO.
Tks for the question, however, I am another who answered based on log file and not log file backup... :pinch:
