Question is irrelevant since both are sparse files.
Thanks for the clarification Howard.
The data file from the mdb_copy snapshot was transferred over the
network to the other server using scp, which I understand does not
recognise sparse files, so the copy is likely to be non-sparse. I guess
this would be considered a corruption and best to start with a fresh copy?

I've had no issue scp'ing files created from mdb_copy.
