Full and differential backup size same in SQL Server
That is very strange. The only reason that the differential backup would not be very small after the full backup was taken would be if the COPY_ONLY flag was used when the full backup was taken. Check the maintenance plan and make sure that the package isn’t generating T/SQL using this flag.

Can data be restored from BRMS whose expire date has passed.

RAID 0 with an Internal and External Drive?
